Thanks everyone for the quick response! From what it looks like I will
probably look closer at the UltraMonkey package.
Since this is not writing to the actual PoPToP server, but rather a common
server behind it (Citrix) which is already load balanced, I think that this
will be a fairly simple task to accomplish.
What is the recommended distribution to use with UltraMonkey? I was planning
on straight RH6.2 (2.2.14-5), but if there are some critical updates that I
should apply, or a different kernel, etc. I would like to know before I jump
in to it.

yes any service can be LVS'ed. If the clients are writing to the server
disks then you have to think a bit.

simplest and most common case.

pirahna is a RedHat product to do failover of LVS directors.
One of the LVS developers (Horms) has produced an HA
solution called Ultramonkey
