How does LVS-DR work?

[Michael Spiegle]

re: active-active

I'll hopefully be able to mention something about it in the next week or
so.  I've got a couple test stations setup for this active-active
stuff.  I'm planning to set the link speeds on the LVSs to 10mbit, then
try to shove >10mbit through them with a 100mbit link on the same switch.
