Hi,

I'm trying to setup IPVS to load balance our Edge traffic. 
I saw this talk on youtube
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKgJeqF1DHw), 
which seems to suggest that it is possible to
 run LVS in a master/master load balancing 
mode, instead of a master/standby mode. 

However, Looking through the ipvsadm manpages
or other documentation online, 
I couldn't really see how this is possible. So, can
you tell me if this is actually possible and if so,
can you indicate how?

(At a high level, my plan is to actually run the
LVS directly on each of the 
realservers in a cluster, with the default
forwarding to the localhost 
(as long as the service is up), while being able to
failover to other hosts in the cluster, when the
localhost's service is not running. Obviously,
I'd need the LVS on each host to be able 
to sync states for this to work, 
should the service on the localhost comes
back up).

Thanks in advance for your help!
