IPVS algorithm question

[buzzin]

Hello,

Im looking at setting up a ipvs cluster. But i would like it for fallover use only with all connections to being sent to a primary server unless its detected as being failed, in which case the connections are sent to the backup server.

Anyone got a suggestion on the correct Algorithm to use for this?

I was thinking that i could just use 'Weighted Least-Connection Scheduling' and just set the weight on the server really really high. Would that have the desired effect or would it send 1 in 10000 requests to the backup server?

Thanks.
