Hi all... regarding the 04MAY2004 thread about RHEL AS realservers and
howto keep arping from horking the LVS...

Why not   just comment out the  bits  of ifup that  invoke  arp(8) and
arping(8)?  It's not ideal insofar as any system upgrades will need to
re-clean the  ifup  code, but  to  my  mind it's the   least  invasive
procedure  - re-writing clean init  scripts  will break the entire  RH
point-n-drool  configurization functionality  that  users  may want to
use.

My understanding is that the manipulation  of arp caches is the single
impediment to using RH products with LVS, or are there others?
