I have got e.g. two servers with Apache and Postfix and a virtual IP (from heartbeat-1). Well, heartbeat is working well and it is simple to deal with complete server outages, but how can I configure heartbeat, so that it also switches the server, if one of the above services fail?
I have read now some more things about pacemaker, openais, heartbeat-2 and so on, which seems to be a bit complicated and no howtos for it..
