fine

it should.

do you mean that the script runs fine and sets up a working LVS? Obviously
not, but what problem goes away?

OK

this is probably it. I always have the VIP on an alias as I need an already
functioning network to test connections before I set up the LVS. I've
never tested it with the VIP on a non-alias.
Is it OK to have an LVS with the VIP on an alias (at least in principle)?
Can you tell me again what goes wrong if the VIP is on eth0:1? The rc.lvs_out
file
shows me that there is no aliased IP (eg eth0:1) in the output of ifconfig.
It appears I don't have the whole picture yet.
