Re: nopreempt and FAULT state - keepalived 1.2.7

Hi Stefan,

I had the same problem and it took me a while to figure out how to make
nopreempt work as it should. I finally found the solution by setting both
to BACKUP and setting one server with a priority lower by 1.

Regarding bugs, you can report them on GitHub

Strahinja
