We have a question about Load Balancing the load balancer... We have as now 2 LVS load balancer in active / passive configuration with keepalived.
We want to introduce L7 load balancer (HAProxy) in active / active configuration, so we have not only HA configuration but also load balanced configuration of load balancer. We think we can do that using the two active / passive LVS machine to load balancing request on 2 HAProxy machine, using correctly persistence (LVS) and stickiness (HAProxy) so application / session behave as expected. We do not found such solution on the Internet, do you think this is a bad design ?
