I am trying to use ipvsadm for NAT. I rebuilt the Linux 2.2.13 kernel with
the 0.9.5 package of ipvsadm support. I configured the telnet port at the
virtual server IP to direct traffic to "daisy". Here is a report by
ipvsadm:
$ ipvsadm -L
IP Virtual Server version 0.9.5 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
-> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP virtip:telnet wlc
-> daisy:telnet Masq 1 0 1
Looks good so far, I think.
So I start a telnet client on fred, a box on the "outside" network which
connects to the VS thru eth1, and expect relay to occur to daisy, on eth0...
fred$ telnet virtip
I watch the activity from another box attached to both eth0 and eth1 with
a pair of tcpdump processes. Here is what they report:
on eth1:
# tcpdump -i eth1 host daisy or virtip or \( fred and ! jujubee \)
tcpdump: listening on eth1
09:19:14.621943 fred.1061 > virtip.telnet: S 2014912000:2014912000(0) win 4096
<mss 1460>
09:19:14.622742 daisy.telnet > fred.1061: S 3197583873:3197583873(0) ack
2014912001 win 16384 <mss 512>
09:19:14.623062 fred.1061 > daisy.telnet: R 2014912001:2014912001(0) win 0
on eth0:
# tcpdump -i eth0 host daisy or virtip or \( fred and ! jujubee \)
tcpdump: listening on eth0
09:19:14.622128 fred.1061 > daisy.telnet: S 2014912000:2014912000(0) win 4096
<mss 1460>
09:19:14.622606 daisy.telnet > fred.1061: S 3197583873:3197583873(0) ack
2014912001 win 16384 <mss 512>
09:19:14.623144 fred.1061 > daisy.telnet: R 2014912001:2014912001(0) win 0
I notice that the first packet arrives at the VS (virtip) via eth1, and is
relayed to daisy as expected, BUT the packet is still identified as having
a source of fred. As I interpret the operation of NAT, the packet should
have been modified to show a source of virtip, in order that replies from
daisy are returned via the VS.
Apparently I misunderstand something, or this release is broken. Can anybody
help me? Thanks in advance.
