Hello:

I am thinking of using LVS to set up a cluster with 2 machines
each located in a different city for geographic redundancy.

I was thinking of running a load balancer on each of those
machines as well as a web server.

Will LVS work correctly for load balancers on different
subnets?  

Will the load balancers be able to communicate
in order to detect failures and hand the workload to
the other?

Thanks, 
        Neil
