Primary lvs not coming back...

[Chris <cditri@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

I now have a small cluster of RedHat 7.2 machines. I have two lvs load 
balancers running Piranha-0.6.x. They are serving a vip for two web servers.
The problem is this:  When I reboot the primary lvs the secondary seems to 
take over as it should.  However after a few minutes, the (the primary one 
is back up) the secondary lvs stops funcitoning.  I look at the processes 
running and it lists nanny for the two web servers, lvs and pulse (and 
piranha-gui) -- looks normal.  From my browser, however, I get a 404 
error.  When I do a ipvsadm -l on the secondary server, I active and 
inactive connections both register as 0.  When I shutdown the pulse service 
on the secondary lvs machine, the first take it over again, and everything 
seems fine (so long as the primary remains up).
When the first comes back up, is the second supposed give control back to 
it? Or does it take the job of lvs until it goes down (then the primary 
takes it back)?  It is extremely frustrating.  What good is clustering if 
the fail-over doesn't work?
I really appreciate your help.
