Hi Andreas,
if you want a pair of machines and you want one of them
to be the active linux director + a real server, and you want the other
to be the backup-linux director + a real server then yes it is
possible, but you need to take special care.
1. On the active linux director the VIP should be on lo and
On the backup-linux director the VIP should be on ethX
- That is, you need to move the VIP when a machine moves
from being active to backup and vice versa.
2. The backup-linux director must not have LVS rules in place for the
service being handled by the active linux director.
- That is, you need to have ldirectord running on only the active
linux director. Or in other words, you need to start it
when a machine becomes active and stop it when it becomes a backup.
3. You have to make sure that arp_ignore and arp_announce are set correctly.
Its a bit old, but I have some notes on this at
http://www.ultramonkey.org/3/topologies/sl-ha-lb-eg.html
(In relation to ARP you want the "Debian" notes unless
you have a really ancient kernel.)
