Hi!
Is it possible in some way to use the router computer in both ways:
as a router and as a server. What I want is to set up a two node
virtual server using only two computers.
I was playing arround with the following tunneling router
configuration (one computer only: router and server):
ROUTER CONFIGURATION: IP=192.168.1.55, Virtual IP=192.168.1.10
# configure the router
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.10 arp up
# add a VS tunneling device to the router itself
modprobe new_tunnel.o
modprobe ipip.o
ifconfig tunl0 192.168.1.10 up
# and add the router computer to the server list
ippfvsadm -A -t 192.168.1.10:23 -R 192.168.1.55 (or 127.0.0.1 or
something)
Well, it didn't work. When I try to telnet to 192.168.1.10, the computer
simply freezes. Ok, ok, I know, I am pushing it too hard, but still,
I wonder if the idea is totaly and utterly wrong in the first place
(shame on me) or is it worth of some further investigation? Would it be
possible to patch the virtual server in some a way to enable such
a (weird ;) configuration?
Is it possible to set up such a configuration by using masquerading server
instead of the tunneling one? I only decided to try tunneling, because I
thought it was more prommissing.
With the masquearading server, it seems impossible to send the locally
generated ip packets from eth0:2 (or something) back to masquerading
section again. In normal VS servers, this is possible by setting the
default gateway back to the VS router, but in single computer
router/server configuration there is no point setting the default
gateway to the local IP address?!
Cheers,
Peter
