Re: Failover Inner Workings and How-to

Peter,

Have you read/seen these:

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.html

and

http://ha.redhat.com/whitepapers/howto/index.html

or

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/piranha/  (same doc as
previous)

If this doesn't answer your question or isn't technical enough then I
would suggest looking at the source code.  Maybe writing a more
technical docmument would help the open source community?

Regareds,
BMan
