That seems like a bug in ldirectord. But without going through the
ldirectord code to fix this issue, you could add one more step to your
procedures:
1. set server weight to 0
2. stop apache2
** 3. create a file in 'maintenancedir' to remove the real server from
the VIP
And to bring it back, you'd wait until your work is done before removing
the maintenance file (as your last step).
The caveat here is that as far as I know, ldirectord does not
differentiate between real servers across VIPs. So if you have the same
real server in multiple VIPs, creating the maintenance file will remove
it from all those VIPs.
Hope this helps,
