Hello,
Is it possible to setup an n-to-1 cluster configuration and have heartbeat manage a different VIP for each virtual pair. The n-to-1 configuration would have a single slave node, able to take over for any one of the failed N masters at a time. In this configuration each masternode would have a staticip-addr and a VIP. When the master fails, the VIP for that master is configured on the slavenode, and the slave acts as that master. Once the slavenode is acting as a master, it remains in this state and cannot takeover of another failed master until the original masternode is restored, and the original slave transitions back to the slave state. Example configuration masternodeA staticip:10.1.1.1 VIP:10.1.1.101 masternodeB staticip:10.1.1.2 VIP: 10.1.1.102 slavenode staticip:10.1.1.3 If masternodeA fails, slavenode becomes active as masternodeA and is configured with VIP 10.1.1.101 If masternodeB fails, there is no failover available since slavenode is currently acting as masternodeA When masternodeA is restored, slavenode releases VIP 10.1.1.101, and is now ready to take over for either masternodeA or masternodeB. I understand this is not an ideal fail over solution, but one I must live with until further design can be done. I've searched the internet, and the HA mailing lists without much success. Any info, or input would be appreciated.
