[TriLUG] RHEL. LVS, piranha

[Ryan Leathers]

Jon, 

I'd love to see what you've done, but I want to stay with piranha if I
can.  The only reason is that I want this to be easily supported by
somebody else, so "the less custom stuff the better" has been my goal.

One of the things that I've been grumbling about is that the RHEL 2.1
docs say that lvs-nat is the only supported option.  I want to use the
lvs-dr option.  I get the feeling that piranha is the limiting factor. 
I really just need this to work reliably.  I could care less about
having a configuration gui so its kind of frustrating right now.

-Ryan
