I'm using keepalived at the moment. For my purposes (redundant web
servers, http and https, multiple VIPs) it's a really, really
straightforward configuration, and it handles both realserver and
director failover like a dream.
I initially set up one director with keepalived and made sure the
healthchecks were working properly for realserver failover, then
duplicated the machine and made sure the second one was working as a
single director too.
Then all I had to do was add the vrrp section to the config file and
restart keepalived on both machines. It's been running happily ever
since. I'm very impressed with it, and the best thing is there's only
one configuration file per director! And you can write your own
healthchecks too, although I haven't needed to do this yet.
In short, I'm a fan :-)
All the best,
Simon.
