LVS + keepalived problem

["Navid Rahimi" <navid.rahimi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am running RHEL4 ( 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp), ipvsadm v1.24, keepalived v1.1.13.
I can get virtual ip addresses to fail-over but when I add a virtual service
nothing gets added to LVS, ipvsadm -L shows nothing. I compiled both ipvsadm
and keepalived from source. During the compliation I did make sure IPVS
framework/sync daemon support were enabled.  Yet no virtual services show up
in ipvsadm. I am trying to setup a streamlined ha/load balancer i.e. the LVS
router and real servers are the same.
VIP: 10.1.1.100
LVS routers/real servers :10.1.1.20, 10.1.1.30

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Navid
