Good morning, Munir.  I think you and I are the only ones on the list; 
my last question went echoing off into the ether with nary a response.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  First, are you referring to 
load balancing with LVS (which is what Piranha is) or high availability 
in an active/passive configuration (what "Red Hat Cluster Manager" is)?

Second, please clarify your terminology; with LVS, the server that does 
the routing and actual load balancing is called the "director".  The 
machines actually serving requests are known as the "real servers" or 
"real-servers".  Not trying to be pedantic, just clear things up.
