Really? Wow. That's definitely interesting. I can understand how it would be
easy to point a finger at the kernel -- that's one of the few places that it
makes a sense to point a finger at.

That would probably be more appropriate... Not only for the readers of this
list, but for you. The RedHat-HA people will probably have a better idea of
what the trouble is than we would.

If you can't find an answer -- I would just give UltraMonkey a shot or try
getting some of the components yourself and putting together a load
balancer.

Best of luck.

All the best --
