In the 2.6 incarnation of LVS, yes.
In the 2.4 incarnation, there is a patch to allow you to do this
but I don't think it made it into the main tree.
http://www.in-addr.de/pipermail/lvs-users/2003-June/008783.html
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/~acassen/software/linux-2.4.26-ipvs_syncd.patch.gz
This is definately the way you want to run the code, else
you get the master/slave problem that I describe here.
http://www.ultramonkey.org/papers/lvs_tutorial/html/lvs_tutorial.html
Of course there are other ways to get around this,
such as starting and stopping the deamon in master and slave
mode when the current node becomes active or standby,
but this really is a chore.
