Its lvs nat but ther is no way i can use debian sarge.We have an application
which was developed on fedora core 2 and we give fc 2 along with the
packaging of our product.Since we r planning to provide loadbalancing to the
existing prduct i have to use only fc2. Our kernel is 2.4.26,i guess.
So, keeping this handicap in mind..can somebody suggest as to how i proceed
with lvs on fc 2..what packages and all that go into it.

LVS-NAT will work "out of the box" on FC2 as all the relevant modules for the director are included in the kernel RPMs. You shouldn't need a custom kernel at all, unless you want to do something slightly unusual.

IIRC that ipvsadm is also a package for FC2 - do "up2date -i ipvsadm".

If you're setting up a very simple LVS, do it by hand first ("man ipvsadm") with a single director and two realservers. Note also because you're using NAT the only thing you need to make sure is that your realservers use the inside face of the director as their default gateway.

Once you've got a basic one running, then start looking at the other applications which are available and decide which of the funky features you need (healthchecks, failover and so on):

1. ldirectord
2. mon/heartbeat
3. keepalived
4. etc etc :)

Hope that helps

Graeme
