Hi Sebastien,

   Could you please help me on how to go about  porting of  Load balancing servers with 2 machines both are acting as 
   Director/Real Server. I am looking for a solution in RedHat 9.0 .I could find this kind of solution in Ultramonkey.

   Looking forward to hearing from you.

David,

Sure it will ! Use direct routing and read thoroughly the LVS how-to on
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

This is NAT with 2 NICs. You still can go for NAT with 1 NIC, which is a
bit harder and not really worth it.

You should really try direct routing. If you need more help, I'll send
you my current piranha config (+explanations).
