Understanding load balance / heartbeat


Hello,

I'm missing some understanding of how heartbeat / load balancing works.. I've been researching and reading tutorials and can't seem to put it together in my head..

Question #1. When heartbeat is configured, do I tell it what services to monitor? Or does it monitor the whole server as a whole?

(my application will be fail over between the load balancers) (Load balancer will be directing traffic to my 2 squids.)

Question #2. How does it balance the load between the squids? ieee. send one connection to squid1 then second connection squid2?

Question #3. What is the best way to tell that load balancing is working properly?

Figures, I take a break from research and come back and the answer presents itself...

Once question on the load balance though...

Is there a way to tell what servers the traffic is being directed to? IE... a way to see the process happening to monitor?
