Piranha is a completely packaged system. You do not need to piece it
together. It provides both the LVS services and FOS services, depending
whether you wish to set up a pool of load-balanced servers or just a
fault-tolerant server for IP services. It comes with it's own heartbeat,
monitopring, etc. It has a single configuration file. There are no "Red Hat"
patches to LVS or the kernel like someone was trying to relate.
