I haven't found information in the documentation but I may have missed the discussion. I have my piranha cluster (two directors in fail over configuration with two web real servers behind). I would like to add a new service (such as ssl) or add a third real server. I make the configuration change inside the piranha GUI, which updated the lvs.cf file. I then scp the .cf file over to the standby director. My question is, what is required to make the changes effective in the running cluster? I am assuming the GUI is an interface to the config files and clustering aspects but doesn't force the changes in "by hand". Do I need to 'pulse reload' or 'pulse stop/start' on both directors for the changes to take effect? If so, does that mean every time I make a change I have to disrupt current and incoming connections for a few seconds while I reload? I couldn't seem to find the step to perform to make changes take effect. If the answer is RTFM, a pointer to the section that covers it would be appreciated.
