How does a forking proxy help when dealing with virtual IP addresses?
Perhaps I don't quite understand what you mean by a "forking proxy" but
it appears you'd have one "main" proxy that basically hands off
requests to others? Right?<br>
<br>
If so, what happens if the "main" proxy crashes? All customers experience a service outage.<br>
<br>
LVS is a very valid approach to achieving 99.999% uptime from a service perspective.<br>
<br>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I wanted to join this thread as it seems
as a very interesting discussion. I have been monitoring for some time now. I
am not quite sure if I this has been discussed before, but has anyone
considered forking proxy instead of load balancer? One thing I am not very
clear <span>on,</span> is what problem you are trying to resolve.
Are you concerned that if <span>sipua</span> registers with
sip-01/mysql-01 then LVS sending the next request to sip-02/mysql-02 without
the second knowing what to do? Sorry, if this has been already discussed.</span></font></p>
