[ULTRAMONKEY-USERS] routing

[Ludwig Ruderstaller]

Hi List,

After playing around the whole weekend i have my setup running. I am two 
little problems away from beeing perfectly happy with it.

my ldirectord.cf looks like:

virtual=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
        real=10.1.1.203:80 masq
        real=10.1.1.204:80 masq
        real=10.1.1.205:80 masq
        service=http
        request="ldirector.html"
        receive="Test Page"
        scheduler=rr
        protocol=tcp
        checktype=negotiate

so the realservers have set the default gateway to the director.

But i have 2 directors in a hot standby configuration. If the master is 
failing the slave takes over automaticly, but the slave has a different 
internal ip then the master, and so the whole setup fails. 

Is there are a way to set the gateway "dynamicly" on the realservers ?

I use Gentoo and set the ip of the interface on the director to "none" and 
added his default route. 
eg.
config_eth0=("none")
routes_eth0=("default via [gateway_ip]")

the only problem is, gentoo doesnt set the route if you dont assign a ip 
address.
after the master fails or get disabled the slave director kicks in and didnt 
have a default route. is it possible to "extend" the takeover process to 
execute a bash file or similar ?

TIA
Ludwig
