Well there's the confusing part. You had said: I even use it on Netfilter firewalls without any trouble (without the LVS support). It's the 'without the LVS support' that caught my eye. The docs didn't make it clear that I could do any of this without LVS-related kernel patches. Further backing that, you now say: All you have to do is patch your kernel with LVS or use the appropriate netfilter-ipvs-modules, compile and install keepalived and configure it according to the documentation and/or your special requirements. So I guess I've either misunderstood or asked the wrong question(s). Because the documentation all seems to revolve around LVS implementations. It's not clear which pieces are optional--unless I'm interpreting it incorrectly. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
