Introduction to Linux Clustering

Setup a device on the network (eg: a reverse­proxy or session balancing application) that passes the session traffic to one of the cluster nodes. This device may be a hardware device or a standalone PC – maybe even a two­node cluster to ensure HA of the load balancer!
Setup multiple service in the cluster suite for the number of nodes you want to load balance.
Configure the services to belong to various failover domains – for example, you may not want to failover some services as long as you run one instance at a minimum – so you setup one service with a failover domain and setup the rest of the services to only run on the one node.
