Hi,

first off this project is awsome!

glad you found us.

for the first packet:
data -> eth1 -(ipvs ballancer)- eth1 -> real server

subseqent packets would then do the following:
data -> eth0 -(ipvs ballancer)- eth0 -> real server

do you have /32 on the VIP on the director and realservers?
(you probably do or it wouldn't work).

I'm pretty sure this is the linux spec. The two NICs on the director can both answer to the VIP and which you get will
depend on a whole lot of things you can't control.
It would be simpler to have just one NIC with the VIP and
unplug the other one (or put it on and administrative network)

clients dont really notice anything, this all happens transperent to them.. it just happens that eth0 is willing to accept packets for any physical interface on the box... but is not exactly what i wanted to have happen.

it's not breaking anything? If not you can leave it alone.
