dead peer detection, ipvsadm

[Gary W. Smith]

Hello, 

I've been looking around for a way to do dead peer detection with
ipvsadm.  I have several incoming SMTP servers that I currently balance
with ipvsadm using wlc.  Recently we had one die which caused some level
of delay for those incoming requests.

I was wondering if there are any recommended dead peer detection methods
for this type of scenario.  Right now it's a manual (albeit a simple)
process.  But I would like have some level of automation for the removal
of these dead peers.
