LVS backup router not taking role

[Khapare Joshi]

Hi, all,

first time poster. I recently deployed lvs (primary and backup) with piranh
and ran into few issues. I turned off the primary lvs to see backup lvs
will take over. However it does not take over right a way seem require
restart pulse. How does this fail over works if primary goes down ? should
not this be happen right a way if primary lvs goes down ?

And I have four real server- and it sees if one goes down whole system is
unavailable (httpd service). Then I restart pulse and get  the httpd
service. I do not think this is right. could be please guide me in right
direction to make reliable.

PS: I use direct routing and have

net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce = 2

in /etc/sysctl.conf

sorry for too many question.

Thanks
