I have vserver 0.17 and ctx-10.
I have in /etc/hosts on 10.10.10.41
-----
10.10.10.41 vserver2 localhost
10.10.10.40 vserver1
--- [root_at_vserver2 /]ypwhich ypwhich: Can't communicate with ypbind [root_at_vserver2 /]ypwhich localhost vserver1 [root_at_vserver2 /]So I have for a work around changed /etc/init.d/ypbind startup script to use "ypwhich localhost" and it will found the NIS server.

I'm not sure if this is a real loopback problem or what. Portmap only in vservers works fine for me. But I need to run portmap also in the main server for NFS-server. This is need special tricking. If I start portmap normally in the main server then portmap in a vserver can't bind the udp address. Now I use in main server "chbind --ip 127.0.0.1 /etc/init.d/portmap start". Then I need to use rinetd for forwarding nfs-servers IP's (192.168.0.3) tcp port 111 to localhost port 111. I haven't found a solution for forwarding udp port also.
rinetd.conf: ----- 193.168.0.3 111 127.0.0.1 111 -----
But despite of that Vserver is a very good solution for our ha-cluster. At the failover we can swap the vservers to the second machine of the cluster with the drbd and the Heartbeat. So thanks for all of you.
