[OpenSIPS-Users] keepalived for HA OpenSIPS

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Gavin,

As I understand you try to solve the SPOF issue with the your opensips 
front load balancer, right ? Instead of adding another component to do 
the monitor the LB, why not using a HA system (vrrp, heartbeat, etc) to 
have an active-backup configuration for the LB ?

Regards,
Bogdan
