LVS with linux-ha is a win-win situation. Even if you loose a LVS,
the failover is transparent. The connections hang for about 5-15
seconds, then transfer over to the other machine.
With the traffic that we have, we opted to use direct
routing, this way there is no translation (thus no additional CPU on
the LVS machine) needed for the answers; the web servers talk directly
back to the client themselves.
We were planning on using Local Directors, then cost became a major
issue. I'm actually glad we did it this way, because personally I
like envesting my knowledge in open solutions rather than learning
proprietary OSs and strategies.
