Hi Joe,
is it reasonable to just support the cards that do? (are they the common
cheap ones, eg tulip, eepro100)?
Yes and no. If you sum up the loss you have for a failed service for
your e-commerce, banking, whatever project depending on the SLA all NICs
are cheap. Trust me on that :)
And if you can't afford 'expensive' cards, I'm pretty sure you're not
running LVS is business/productive environment and thus you also don't
need keepalived.
I could be wrong on this one but I made the experience that buying cheap
hardware doesn't pay off in the end. Only maybe if you're running a
small company with no branches and 3-10 employees. You might do this.
YMMV. Cheers mate,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
