Hi John Thanks for you input. So you basically state that („physically“) separating the director servers from keepalive/haproxy servers is the only option? I would like to avoid setting up two additional machines for that whenever possible, as any node more in the chain potentially is another point of failure… ;)
Nope, it's not the only option. You can always have all three daemons (keepalived/haproxy/director) on each machine. Keepalived will handle the floating ip job, haproxies will have no problems with the floating ip, the directors will always be binded to the static ips of the machines and have their setup in the haproxies. That's all.
But, if you plan to make a Highly available environment, u have to consider splitting your services to different VMs, and them to different hypervisors in order to be as Highly available as you can....
