This may sound a little strange, but I have proxy server running on port
8080 on my director which is running LVS-NAT to some web servers (port
80) behind it. I'd like to be able to have the proxy server to behave
like a real life client and talk directly to port 80 on the director and
be able to contact one of the web servers on the backend. The problem
appears to be that because the packets are originating locally, I get a
"connection refused". I suspect its because the packets aren't
transversing any of the rules because they are originating from the
local box, but I don't know for sure.
The same thing happens if I just telnet to port 80 on the director. The
question is, is there a way to get it to work so that I can access port
80 from the director itself? Thanks!!
