My company, whose Linux flavor of choice is RHEL, will be setting up a load balanced cluster soon. I've setup a couple HA servers using older versions of heartbeat, but I've never messed with LVS for an active/active cluster. What, if anything, is the difference between stock LVS and RedHat Cluster Suite? I'm assuming that RHCS is based on LVS. Have they added anything, or did they merely slap their own name on it and start charging extra for support? Anybody out there got any first-hand experience with both LVS & RHCS? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I know what HA and LVS do. LVS is what I want. I'm familiar with HA, but I don't know enough about LVS to know if RedHat Cluster Suite adds anything to it, or is simply re-branded.

And I do know enough about LVS to know that GFS is not required, depending on what apps you're clustering.
