I don't quite understand why this needs to be specified in a config file in order for the apache failover to occur. When I tried just creating a random file on both servers and stopped one, it didn't failover to the second apache server. Anyone know why this is?
 Your tutorial is great. I ran into problems with starting ldirector and heartbeat and it was very difficult to back up to a place where I could start fresh. i think the problem is that I had entered some IP Addresses incorrectly. Some info on how to roll out would be helpful. I did it with trial and error.
Thanks!
