Well, I'm not convinced:
the testbed looks like this:
client --> router --> director
the client generates random requests (192.168.7.0/24 as source-addresses).
The destination address is a VIP (192.168.11.5). The router forwards the packet
to the director.
The router / director are directly connected in a little subnet (192.168.8.0/24;
the router has IP-address 192.168.8.1 and
the director 192.168.8.2). Packets with destination-address the VIP are
forwarded
to the director, but as the source address hasn't the same subnet as the the
incoming interface of the director
(192.168.8.0 subnet vs 192.168.7.0) the director did not forward the packets. I
had to change the subnet of the incoming interface to 192.168.0.0/16. I really
don't understand why this is a requirement of networking, because the
source-address doesn't matter in this case as packets are only forwarded until
the realserver is reached. That's why they invented routing.

Davy.
