[lxc-users] Has anyone ever configured or used LPVS with LXD/LXC before?

[Fajar A. Nugraha]

I've used IPVS (with keepalived, which also includes vrrp feature) in the
past with xen. As long as you use bridge networking, with the server's eth
(or vlan) as slave (NOT using lxdbr0, cause it wouldn't make much sense to
loadbalance two or more containers on the same host), I don't see how it
will be any different with lxd.
