Hi,

I'm using LVS/DR for my Mail system. With Redhat 7.3 machines acting as Director's for a cluster of FreeBSD SMTP servers using Keepalived for HA and service monitoring.

Ok.

Recently updated one of the SMTP server to from 4.7-stable to 5.0-current and found that LVS/DR works with FreeBSD 5.0-current as long as ip forwarding is enabled.

I do not believe that it has changed. So something else has changed if it worked before or you had ip_forwarding=1 before too.

Please convince yourself that the /etc/rc.network in FreeBSD 4.7-stable is the same as with the current CVS:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?A4A823F73

This can be done 2 ways. in /etc/rc.conf gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway.

by manipulating a kernel state directly via sysctl

sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

The first yields the latter. So in fact there is only one way. What would be more interesting is, why you need ip_forward on a backend server. Check your settings in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or make a diff to the 4.7 one. There were changes related to sendmail defaults in this file lately.

Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
