Thats not quiet true lvs and keepalived works with an active active setup so
does carp and slbd with bsd. Tested with the pfsense firewall but i needed to
load balance udp which ist not possible with carp.

Betreff: active/active question....
Hello,
I hope you can clarify a few things regarding lvs:
I've searched for a working active/active lvs setup, but I can't find any...
As I understand it:
saru (which look so nice;) is not production ready and not 2.6 compatible
keepalived project don't support active/active, neither does ultramonkey..
So the only way to be director redundant in a production environment is
active/standby.
Then heartbeat or vrrp is used for the VIP/mac address mangling in the event of
director failover.
As I understand it this is no problem for vrrp, but heartbeat don't have the
necessarry features builtin to handle the problems switches and routers arp
caches pose, which mean that if ultramonkey is preffered, carp or vrrp should
be implemented as well...
Can somone confirm if the above is the correct current director redundancy
options?
Thanks.
