According to the documentation about lvs-dr it indicates that no default
gateway is desired for the director. The configuration perl script
apparently checks for this and generates an error if a gateway is found for
the director in the lvs-dr.conf file. Can somebody explain why this should
not be set? I looked (briefly) for an explaination but couldn't find one.
The reason I'm asking is that the lack of a default gateway on the director
causes an obvious problem if you set up the director as a local node to
handle traffic like DNS. The server won't be able to resolve DNS queries
without a gateway since it wouldn't be able to access any systems outside
the local network. I tried a quick test and adding a default gateway to our
director didn't seem like it caused any unusual problems. Is it safe to do
this if we plan on using the director as a local DNS node as well?
Thanks!
