IPVS State Determination

["Abdalla N. A. A." <administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have 2 test linux boxes with IPVS, started sync daemons on both.
Now I need to determine the failover state of the IPVS. E.g. if it is 
primary or backup server, or that primary is down and so on.
How can this be achieved?

Thanks,
Nail
