[Ipvsman-users] ipvsman

[Gerry R. <gr...@ve...>]

  I ran across this project while searching for a load balancer/virtual 
router solution.  I didn't find a mail archive so forgive me if I am 
asking previously answered questions.  I am looking to setup a pair of 
fault-tolerant load balancers that will route a virtual web IP to my 
real webserver cluster nodes.  I was originally thinking about heartbeat 
and ldirectord or keepalived.  How does ipvsman/d compare to these?  Is 
it an all-in-one type solution?  Or do I still need some other things?  
The description says that it replaces ldirectord.  Ok, then what about 
the heartbeat failover functionality?  Do I still need heartbeat?
