In a LVS sort of way?  Yes, although failover in a cluster that is using
 GFS only works as well as automated or manual fencing does.  Since I
can't get my domU nodes to ssh into the dom0 for fence_xen to work (Xen
networking issue of some sort that I don't have time to figure out), I
have to use manual xm destroy and fence_ack_manual.  It's a real pain in
the ass.  It wouldn't be an issue at all if the domUs didn't miss so
many heartbeats.  I have a hunch that the credit scheduler in 3.0.3 is
going to help that a lot.
