Thanks nate.
Right now I am not concerned with the load balancing. I have few cluster nodes and if I run mode1 , then the failover time may lead to cluster timeout. I have not tested it yet but I will do it. So if the failover

that and I will stick with mode 0. Is there a way to change this time/durartion ?
You can change the polling interval with the miimon option, but I'm not sure how precise you can get, it does take some time for the system to register a link failure, if that is infact what causes the network to fail. Another failure mode is a layer 2 failure which can detected in some cases using the arp monitor.
I think rather than trying to achieve zero loss on the network with regards to failures you should tune the cluster to be more tolerant and not raise a fit if the network is down for
This makes sense nate. Thanks! Paras.
a second or two.
