Hi List,

I have two Nodes in my LVS Cluster using VIP. The problem I am getting is that 
the MAC address of the Node that fails also fails over with the MAC address of 
the failing Node. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem. When the fail 
over occurs the MAC address should not change to the machine that was failed 
over. The MAC address of the node that came alive should use the MAC address of 
the failing node. This causes delays in the failover for my switches and 
router. I was thinking about VRRP. However, there should be another way.

Greatly appreciate any input,

Lex
