Hi,
No, not mysql. Load-balancing would be for web and email... But the issue
is that I need both LB and HA, and so was looking for some package that
could do both, or manage both.
That's fine, for web and email you can use LVS + HA. There are a couple
ways to get the HA part. You can use LVS + mon which I believe is set up
for you by the Configure.pl script that goes along with the HOWTO. Or
you can go with the UltraMonkey project which is really LVS + Heartbeat
+ ldirectord.
But for MySQL you ONLY need HA, so ONLY use heartbeat. You would gain
nothing except more headaches by forcing mysql to go through LVS to
provide HA which it still wouldn't be able to do without someother
utility (mon or ldirectord).
