It seems that keepalived is more powerful but ldirectord+lvs+heartbeat is
more active, so I am not entirely sure which is 'best' suitable.
Keepalived can be configured in an active/active fashion (which still
baffles me a bit) and the 'need' for an equal division of traffic is
probably more of an ideal than an actual need. To reduce chances for split
brain, I have(had) chosen an RS-232 cable and could not determine whether
keepalived supports that, I read the manual, but it's quite old. After this
part is answered I can probably start looking into the specifics of setting
up everything
Thanks a lot everyone!!
