Using Lvs With Red Hat Cluster - Red Hat LINUX VIRTUAL SERVER - FOR ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.2 REV 05-2008 Manual

Appendix A. Using LVS with Red Hat
Cluster
You can use LVS routers with a Red Hat Cluster to deploy a high-availability e-commerce site
that provides load balancing, data integrity, and application availability.
The configuration in Figure A.1, "LVS with a Red Hat Cluster" represents an e-commerce site
used for online merchandise ordering through a URL. Client requests to the URL pass through
the firewall to the active LVS load-balancing router, which then forwards the requests to one of
the Web servers. The Red Hat Cluster nodes serve dynamic data to the Web servers, which
forward the data to the requesting client.
