I started working with Linux 4 days ago, so please pardon any newb-ness on my part.
I'm trying to set up a load balancer right now, but I'm having trouble getting it to actually load balance. I'm currently testing everything via VMs atm.
IP addresses
Director: 10.10.10.204
Backup: 10.10.10.215
Real Server 1: 10.10.10.247
Real Server 2: 10.10.10.248
VIP I want to use: 10.10.10.193
My operating system is CentOS 5.1, kernel 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5
I have apache set up on the two real servers for testing purposes. Yesterday, I was able to get it working - typing 10.10.10.193 into a browser took me to Real Server 1 (10.10.10.247).
Today, I tried adding in the second real server. Now, it seems as though 10.10.10.193 will ONLY take me to 10.10.10.248. I have it set up on Piranha to use round robin, but it's not working.
I've tried looking at tail -f /var/log/messages, and I noticed that when I start pulse, I'm not getting the message "gratuitous lvs arps finished"
Instead, I get this

And this just keeps going and going and going. I tried searching up online, but it doesn't seem as though anybody has had the same problem as me.
Here's my lvs.cf file

I followed the instructions from the the centos.org site for setting up a LVS, but I also tinkered a bit with everything when it didn't work for me.
Please help
This problem has maketh me very sad.
