I would recommend using LVS + keepalived with VRRPv2. Using that you can
set up loadbalancing between two loadbalancers which cannot be done by
Hearbeat + ldirectrod. Withe the former two lvs directors would function
for handling requests for multiple ips and redirecting them to real
servers and if one server is down the other would take the charge of the
failed server.
