@ -128,6 +128,13 @@ By default, OpenStack-Ansible configures keepalived to ping one of the root
DNS servers operated by RIPE. You can change this IP address to a different
external address or another address on your internal network.
If external connectivity fails, it is important that internal services can
still access an HAProxy instance. In a situation, when ping to some external
host fails and internal ping is not separated, all keepalived instances enter
the fault state despite internal connectivity being still available. Separate
ping check for internal and external connectivity ensures that when one
instance fails the other VIP remains in operation.
