Thanks Léon. Turns out this is the easiest way. I've put this into
/etc/ipvsadm.rules:
node1:
--start-daemon master --syncid 50
--start-daemon backup --syncid 51
node2:
--start-daemon master --syncid 51
--start-daemon backup --syncid 50
And chkconfig'd ipvsadm on. The init script loads before OpenAIS so the daemon
gets started before OpenAIS loads Pacemaker to load ldirectord to load the LVS
rules :)
I'll still look into putting it into the Pacemaker resource agent for
ldirectord so anyone doing load-balancing on Pacemaker clusters will get
connection state syncing for free.
Regards
Darren
