So no Ultramonkey 3 on Gentoo? Anyone?
Looks to me like Ultramonkey is just some documentation, and as kashani said,
some skeleton configs for Debian. I do not see any actual "ultramonkey
software" or even "special sauce".
Quite useful documentation though.
I do load balancing on Gentoo to Gentoo, pretty much all I needed to get it
going was to install heartbeat with USE=ldirectord, compile the appropriate
kernel modules, then setup ldirectord.
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Documents.html#manuals is particularly
helpful, if a bit out of date. Especially the LVS/* pages.
The best explanation I found was this thread
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.highavailability.ultramonkey/1353
And looking into some of the patches Ultramonkey built, they are based
on some much older tools like heartbeat 1.2.4 where as 2.0.7 is current
in Gentoo. I'd guess most of the usefulness of Ultramonkey was rolled
into the actual packages doing the dirty work... probably so they could
retire the stupid stupid name. :-)
