Moreover, keepalived supports VRRP, which means it can interoperate with other devices that support this protocole and is far more flexible in terms of configuration. It also supports IPSEC-AH authentication, as defined in VRRPv2. VRRP has been defined to provide flexible failover for routers, and is so applicable to packet filters. In this usage, it is to my mind much efficient than heartbeat. -- Cédric Blancher <blancher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> IT systems and networks security expert - Cartel Sécurité Phone : +33 (0)1 44 06 97 87 - Fax: +33 (0)1 44 06 97 99 PGP KeyID:157E98EE FingerPrint:FA62226DA9E72FA8AECAA240008B480E157E98EE
