We have a requirement of redundant DHCP server with load balancing. But the restriction is, our BRAS only accepts only single DHCP server IP. Which makes the DHCP Primary/Secondary setup unfit here. I am planning to use two DHCP servers with HA Load Balancer (LVS) cluster setup. That is, 2 nodes with heartbeat and LVS & 2 DHCP server nodes. - Is it possible? - Can the load be balanced between 2 DHCP servers using LVS? - How do we monitor the DHCP service for failover using Ldirector/LVS? - Can more nodes be added horizontally behind the LB (LVS) if required? Please help.
