Hello.
Still strugging with this...
I just have a quick conceptual question. The more I read, the more it
seems to me that this may be true.
Q: is the VIP an actual IP address configured on an actual interface (or
alias for an interface) that resides on the load-balancer?
So traffic routed to that VIP would then be subject to some balancing
algorythm or another (performed by the load balancer), and sent to (via
dnat or tunnel etc) a real ip address of a real machine serving a real service?
This may seem like a stupid question, but please bear with me. If this is
the case then the VIP is really a real IP, right? I had thought, that the
VIP was a floating address between two or more machines, meaning that
machine A and machine B can share 10.10.10.10 (for example), and then took
turns, so to speak, taking responsibility for that address. I am now
thinking that this is not the case.
Can you please tell me if I am right, or correct my erroneous thought
processes?
Thanks again! I will keep at it.
Chris
