[lvs-users] FW: Self Configuring High Availability LVS with Keepalived

["David Hinkle" <hinkle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to put together a self configuring high availability LVS.  Each of 
my units is a proxy server.  Each of them is identical, except a little 
configuration, and I intend them to come up, elect a director, and serve 
content.

I notice when I have a unit in BACKUP state, when I do "ipvsadm" I see all the 
lvs stuff is configured in the kernel.

Does this mean that the unit will try to do load balancing when a connection 
comes in instead of just ignoring it and allowing the proxy server's user space 
software to process it?

If so, Can I configure keepalived in such a way that the ipvsadm stuff isn't 
set up until a unit goes to MASTER?  And if so, will the connection state 
information successfully synchronize?
