Hi folks, I have set up a cluster on CentOS 5.2 using /etc/cluster/cluster.conf - and it works fine. It's only purpose is to switch a virtual IP between two routers. Now the service is running, I can ping the virtual IP from outside - but this virtual IP is not bound to any interface. How does this work? Can I force the cluster to bind it to a certain interface? I need this because the routing daemon (xorp) does not make use of an ip address that is not bound to an interface. Any hint or help is appreciated. Dirk
Okay, I found that ifconfig does not show the virtual IP address, but "ip addr show" shows it bound to an interface. Seems that ifconfig can only handle old style aliases. dirk --On 13.

I have set up LVS with piranha but couldn't find anything decent or a tool to set up high availability failover like I did with LVS. All of the cluster suite stuff I read about involves quorums and shared storage etc which is not what I need here. I just need a firewall that will bring up the network gateway address in the event the primary fails.
