由于nginx的url hash功能可以很好的提升squid的性能，所以我把squid前端的负载均衡器更换为nginx，但是一台nginx就形成了单点，现在使用keepalived来解决这个问题，keepalived的故障转移时间很短(<1s)，而且配置简单，这也是选择keepalived的一个主要原因，建议日PV值小的中小型企业web均可采用如下方案实行，下面直接上安装步骤：

一、环境：
centos5.3、nginx-0.7.51、keepalived-1.1.19
主nginx负载均衡器：192.168.0.154
辅nginx负载均衡器：192.168.9.155
vip：192.168.0.188

二、安装keepalived

#tar zxvf keepalived-1.1.19.tar.gz
#cd keepalived-1.1.19
#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/keepalived
#make
#make install
#cp /usr/local/keepalived/sbin/keepalived /usr/sbin/
#cp /usr/local/keepalived/etc/sysconfig/keepalived /etc/sysconfig/
#cp /usr/local/keepalived/etc/rc.d/init.d/keepalived /etc/init.d/
#mkdir /etc/keepalived
#cd /etc/keepalived/
vim keepalived.conf


#service keepalived start
我们来看一下日志：
[root@ltos ~]# tail /var/log/messages

很显然vrrp已经启动，我们还可以通过命令：#ip a 来检查

[root@ltos html]# ip a
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:ba:9b:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.154/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0
    inet 192.168.0.188/32 scope global eth0
    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:feba:9be7/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: sit0: mtu 1480 qdisc noop
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0


说明vip已经启动，这样主服务器就配置好了，辅机的配置大致一样，除了配置文件有少部分的变化，下

面贴出辅机的配置文件：

! Configuration File for keepalived
global_defs {
   notification_email {
   yuhongchun027@163.com
        }
   notification_email_from keepalived@chtopnet.com
   smtp_server 127.0.0.1
   smtp_connect_timeout 30
   router_id LVS_DEVEL
}

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
    state BACKUP
    interface eth0
    virtual_router_id 51
    mcast_src_ip 192.168.0.154              <==主nginx的IP的地址
    priority 100
    advert_int 1
    authentication {
        auth_type PASS
        auth_pass chtopnet
    }
    virtual_ipaddress {
        192.168.0.188
    }
}

检查其配置
[root@ltos html]# ip a
1: lo: mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:ba:9b:e7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.155/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0
    inet 192.168.0.188/32 scope global eth0
    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:feba:9be7/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: sit0: mtu 1480 qdisc noop
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

测试其效果方法很简单，分别在主辅机上建立不同的主页，index.html分别为192.168.0.154,192.168.0.155，然后用客户机上elinks http://192.168.0.188,主机down掉后辅机会马上接替提供服务，间隔时间几乎无法感觉出来,这个环境准备再进行下压力测试，用于我杭州网跃朋友的web服务器，如有疑问请联系yuhongchun027@163.com(抚琴煮酒)
