Hi,
I am new to LVS, never set one up yet, I read a lot on the website
already though.
Plans are to do the following:
2 ISPs, 2 Directors in Master/Slave Configuration with
connection-synchronisation, and n webservers (2 at the moment, but
propably more soon).
So director1 is connected to 2 ISPs and (over switches) to the webservers.
When director1 fails, director2 shall take over and user connections
should keep working.
The connection to the internet is not to be load-balanced. Users know
both ISP's addresses and come in over either ISP1 or ISP2.
So the load-balancing would be just from ISP1 or ISP2 to the webservers.
So if I did not get sth terribly wrong, that would make two VIPs (ISP1
and ISP2) and one DIP which will be the gateway for the webservers.
Here's a little ascii art of what we are thinking of, maybe this can
make it a bit more clear:
*ISP1 ** ISP2
* | *\**/* | *
* | **\/** | *
* | **/\** | *
* DIR1--DIR2 *
* | failov | *
* | ****** | *
* SW1 -- SW2 *
* | *\**/* | *
* | **\/** | *
* | **/\** | *
*WWW1 ** WWW2
Is this possible with LVS?
I read about load-balancing the internet-connection but that did not
regard failover.

I hope I could explain myself well enough. Let me know if anything is
unclear.
Thx for any help,
Dominik
