Webmail, sorry for format.
 
Is this a safe setting to use?  Have both LVS servers as both master and slave?

May be the is wrong, but we run ldirectord on both master and standby
hosts ALL the time. We also run "ipvsadm --start-daemon master" and
"ipvsadm --start-daemon backup" on BOTH hosts all the time (2.6
kernel). The ONLY thing that heartbeat is doing is brining the service
IP addresses up and down. That way ldirectord doesn't need 10 seconds
or so to check services before they come into service: everything is
instant. Maybe this is wrong, but it works really well. Our failover
time is less than half a second, and all state is retained. Fail back
can happen immediately as well...
