In the beginning we used lvs for loadbalancing.
Now the specifications for this part of our configuration have changed
and we have to deal with it inside the lvs enviroment.
We thought about using specialised software for the failover setup, but
the effort seems to high for us. So we search for a solution
within the lvs setup.

Thanks!
