News contrib to LVS

[Alexandre Cassen <Alexandre.Cassen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have just publish a little contribution to LVS after negociation with
my employer. The solution described in the contrib homepage is used in a
production environnement.

The projet is named : Keepalived

The main goal of the keepalived project is to add a strong & robust
keepalive facility to the Linux Virtual
Server project. This project is similar to the MON project,
but it is in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. Keepalived implements
a framework based on three family checks : Layer3, Layer4 & Layer5.
This framework gives the daemon the ability of checking a LVS
server pool states.When one of the server of the LVS server pool is down,
keepalived informs the linux kernel via a setsockopt call to remove this
server entrie from the LVS topology.

the project homepage is :
http://keepalived.sourceforge.net

Hope it will help,

Happy christmas and happy new year,

Alexandre Cassen
