[ULTRAMONKEY-USERS] help with streamlined HA LB cluster config on debian etch

[Jacqueline Buros]

Hi Denis, thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I think I have configured weights -- though perhaps not 
correctly. See below for my configuration files (including ldirectord.cf).

Also, I will take a look at your configuration example as it appears to 
do more with IPTABLES than I am currently doing, also it appears that 
you have made use of several NICs rather than 1. These may explain my 
problem. Do you use a cross-over patch cable for your LVSSyncDaemon? I 
may need to do this as well.

Any additional comments or suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!!
Jacki
