Hi there,

Can the LVS provide a fail-over type of redundancy, as well as a round-robin 
type?

That is, if I have two servers in my virtual "pool" can I direct all traffic to
just one server until it fails, and then all traffic will be directed to the
other server?

the idea of LVS is to spread the load between hosts, so this won't work. What you want is failover eg Linux-HA
