do you know that in the current way of doing director 
failover that the backup director is getting the ipvsadm 
state table from the active director, so that it when the 
backup becomes the active, that it knows the state of the 
lvs controlled connections?

If you know that already, what's missing from LVS that you 
need?

It doesn't loadbalance till you send it packets.

It seems that you and I have a different idea about what's 
happening here and I don't know what you idea is. Can you 
straighten me out?

Thanks
