http://www.linux-vs.org + http://keepalived.sf.net = load balanced HA nodes

Define iptables in a HA scenario, please. One part that is missing is the

filter HA, only an active/passive system.

Please check recent research papers emerged from symposia on network and 
security topics last year for further reference.
