The virtual server failover is bound to the switch failover in a
hot-standby setup. There is no need for the real servers to fail over.
They do see the same MAC before and after the failover and I do not know
what you mean with a real server failover.<br><br>
BTW: it is even possible to use a device above the SIs as default gateway
for the real servers and the traffic is just passing through the active
SeverIron.<br><br>

How do I configure virtual servers and real servers to fail over between

the nodes? My SI's fail over, but teh virtual and real servers
dont.<br><br>
