What failure mode do you expect that isn't handled
by HB (or any of the other director monitoring programs assoc with LVS)?
People have been handling director failover with HB (and now vrrpd etc)
for years without any undetected failures.

even if you got it to work, this is going to be difficult to maintain.
Someone else coming on this setup is going to have a hard time figuring
