I seem to be having a problem with the LB side of things. In http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-a-high-availability-load-balancer- with-haproxy-heartbeat-on-debian-lenny-p2 you have said that As lb2 is the passive load balancer, it should not be listening on the virtual IP address as long as lb1 is up. We can check that with: lb2: ip addr sh eth0 but the result shows both lb1 and lb2 are listening to the vIP Please can you help.
heartbeat start output root@loadb2:~# /etc/init.d/heartbeat start Starting High-Availability services: IPaddr[2805]: INFO: Running OK ResourceManager[2782]: CRITICAL: Resource 192.168.0.50 is active, and should not be!

seems as though all i needed to do was a restart of heartbeat and let the conflicts resolve themselves
