my configure script makes this a lot easier
(it's on the
Documentation page).
Here's the conf file for what you've set up
#lvs_dr.conf (C) Joseph Mack mack@xxxxxxxxxxx
LVS_TYPE=VS_DR
INITIAL_STATE=on
VIP=eth0:132 lvs 255.255.255.255 lvs
DIRECTOR_INSIDEIP=eth2 director-inside 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255
DIRECTOR_DEFAULT_GW=router
SERVICE=t telnet rr realserver1 realserver2
SERVER_VIP_DEVICE=TP
SERVER_NET_DEVICE=eth1
SERVER_DEFAULT_GW=router
#----------end lvs_dr.conf------------------------------------
where your /etc/hosts (or DNS) is the following
64.208.49.1 router
64.208.49.132 lvs
192.168.100.130 director-inside
192.168.100.99 realserver1
192.168.100.98 realserver2
My configure script fails when it's run (although it's a bizarre failure
and not one I'd anticipated). The problem is that your VIP is not in the
realserver network. Since you're using TP for the VIP on the realserver
network, I didn't have a device in the 64.x.x.x network on the realserver
and couldn't route to the outside world from the realservers.
I haven't played with realservers for VS-DR having private network IPs.
Make sure this isn't going to be a problem for your local routing.
I'd put the VIP and the realservers into the same network for a start.
Since I'm about to dive out the door to Ottawa, I won't be able to do a
2nd round on this question till Sunday or so.
Good luck.
