I’m trying to set up pound in a HA configuration using keepalived’s VRRP
function.  I created a virtual ip of 192.168.188.10 and was successfully able
to fail over the IP to the second pound server when I shut down the primary
server.  The problem I ran into was when I tried running pound on the second
server while both servers were up.  I get “HTTP socket bind
192.168.188.10:80: Cannot assign requested address – aborted”.  The only
way I was able to get it to work was to have pound running on the primary
first, turn off keepalived on the primary so the secondary would take over, run
pound on the secondary, then start back up keepalived on the primary to take
back control of the VIP.

 

Is there an easier way to get pound configured for HA?  Any suggestions would
be appreciated.

 

-Ken

Hi Kenneth,

I've done this successfully. The trick is NOT to bind Pound to any
specific IP address, but leave it on all addresses (0.0.0.0). Then, you
can always contact it on the host's dedicated address, and when the host
has the virtual IP address, you can contact it on that too.
