That was going to be my next question if it turned out (as it did) that you're using kosher RPMs. :) I've only ever had LVSes configured with NAT so have no experience and only a vague memory of how DR works from the docs. If no one here can point you in the right direction there's a dedicated LVS list too which might be worth searching the archives of and then questioning if you can't find an answer. http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-users/ Will.
