Is it possible to have this topology using LVS (possibly with heartbeat, fake, mon, ...) or with another vitual server ?

Yes (as Joe pointed out). I've set one up before and it works well.
Here's a page that explains how it's done. (Note: You do not have to use
the ultramonkey packages if you don't want to. I didn't and it worked
fine)

Thank you very much Salvatore. I would like to thank Joseph too, for his answer. I was about to post again to ask him how could I achieve such a model, now I know it is possible as it was done, but your message provided me all the hints I need to start. The doc located on Ultra Monkey is detailled, that's perfect.

In fact I had a look at Ultra Monkey but I wasn't able to find this topology out of the ones listed on the web site when I searched. I found HA, LB, HA w/ LB, but no Streamline HA & LB among the others by the past. Now I see it, so I'm sorry if it was a dummy question.

An additional question : could you tell me if according to you it is a bad idea to have such an architecture in production ? Versus HA w/ LB, there is twice less machines, decreasing total cost and possible hardware failures, space required, heat production, ... Am I wrong ?

Have a nice day and thanks again,

Best regards,

Laurent.
