Re: [Ipvsman-users] ipvsman and keepalived

Volker,
  What a great writeup!  Thanks for this.

  I do have experience with heartbeat.  Some good, some bad.  Right now 
heartbeat is contributing in some way to a kernel oops when using NFS.  
I've sent details to Alan Robertson who is looking at this.  It may be 
NFS and not heartbeat but the problem does not occur if we shutdown 
heartbeat.  Anyway, yes, we run two network paths with heartbeat to 
prevent the split-brain and that was one of my concerns with 
keepalived.  keepalived is the younger technology so of course it will 
lack some features of heartbeat but I think the situation will not stay 
like this.  I think eventually VRRP will be favored by a lot of people. 
  I'm still a couple days away from digging in on ipvsman/d.  I'm dug in 
to a database cluster build.  But you've really whet my appetite after 
reading your writeup.  Can't wait to get started.

Thanks,
Gerry
