Thats what I'm doing now. The setup works, but its complexity causes
issues. Bringing up IPs over here, moving them from eth0 to lo over
there, running noarpctl on that box. Its all very hard to keep track of.
Its much simpler to just have two boxes running LVS, and not worry about
whats on the servers.
Simple things are generally easier to fix if they break. It took me
quite a while to find a simple typo in a script on my current setup,
because it was very non-obvious at what layer things were failing.
