Let me try to picture it...
I'm horrible with ascii art... :-(
I guess we can look at it as a mini cluster with 4 servers. Servers A and B
are application servers. Servers X and Y are database servers.
A
(LVS)
|
--------
| |
X ---- Y
| |
--------
|
(LVS)
B
X and Y are redundant, replicated database servers. Both A and B would have
their database connections load-balanced between X and Y.
So I was wondering if simply running LVS on BOTH server A and B, in order to
achieve the load balancing, is feasible.
In this case, the LVS is really directing local connections (on A or B) to
the X/Y servers. It is not directing external connections from the internet.

Instead of having a stand-alone LVS server, I thought about having the
load balancer run on each of the 2 servers. So in other words, each
server has its own lvs that connects to the 2 databases and then load
balances the connections from that particular server between the 2
database servers.
that's more complicated than I can handle. Can you draw a diagram? There's
ascii art in the HOWTO that you can use
as a model and makes it through e-mail OK
