Please excuse the double post, but last post to the list seemed to have all of 
the cr/lfs stripped making it eligible.  I am resending it and crossing my 
fingers that it is actually readable this time.

Hello,
I am trying to get LVS to load balance two web servers. Which seems like it 
should be easy to do. Especially since I have it successfully LVS working to 
load balance other services (mysql cluster, dns and smtp) on the same load 
balancers but I cannot get LVS to load balance http requests. I believe my 
issue is the same thing this poster mentions in the following message:
http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/2006-07/msg00132.html

"As a result, ldirectord was trying to add the rule again (-a) instead of 
editing it (-a), which causes an error and the weight does not change. Horms 
can explain more."

When I start heartbeat I see the following in the /var/log/messages:

Feb 7 10:19:28 loadb1 ldirectord[1392]: Resetting soft failure count: 
192.168.100.31:8002 (tcp:192.168.100.16:80)Feb 7 10:19:28 loadb1 
ldirectord[1392]: system(/sbin/ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.100.16:80 -r 
192.168.100.31:8002 -g -w 1) failed:

Therefore, my servers never get a weight of one:

TCP 192.168.100.16:www rr  -> 192.168.100.32:www Route 0 0 0   -> 
192.168.100.31:www Route 0 0 0
If I take the same command from the log output and change it to edit (-e) 
rather than add (-a) my server gets a weight of one and works splendidly:

/sbin/ipvsadm -e -t 192.168.100.16:80 -r 192.168.100.31:8002 -g -w 1

If someone can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it, I have 
read the LVS documentation, many howto's and done a lot of googling on the 
topic to no avail.

A bit about my configuration:

Both load balancers are Ubuntu 9.10. I am using packages from my distribution 
which report the following versions:
heartbeat: 2.99.2+sles11r9-5ubuntu1lidrectord: 2.99.2+sles11r95ubuntu1ipvsadm: 
1:1.24-2.1

I do notice that ipvsadm seems very old, which makes me wonder if these 
packages are not well maintained on debian/ubuntu. ipvsadm -v shows:

ipvsadm v1.24 2005/12/10 (compiled with popt and IPVS v1.2.0)

A sample from my ldirectord.conf:
virtual=192.168.100.16:80  real=192.168.100.31:8002 gate  real=192.168.100.32:8002
 
gate service=http  scheduler=rr protocol=tcp checktype=negotiate #checkport=8002  request="ldirector.html"  receive="."
I have tried different check type's (off/on/connect/ping) to no avail. I always 
get the same error in my log. If there is any more information I can provide, 
please let me know and thanks in advance.

Simon
