Hello,
I'm trying to setup a LVS...
I think you've done a good work, the HOW-TO is very helpful and clair...
but... I've a trouble...
I'm setting up a DR_LVS with a director and two servers... 
I've to handle the ARP problem so I've put two NIC on the two
realservers...
Now I've a big trouble with one of them... The problem appear also
before I get up all the stuff around the LVS... Simply I power-on the
real server, I make linux start and I set up the two eth  from command
line....
I give them 192.168.17.10 and 192.168.10.30 as IP address. (.30 is the
address for the VIP).
The eth1 is leaved floating and is not really connected to the
switch/hub of the net...
The problem is:
If I ping from another PC (chosen randomly) to 192.168.17.30 (eth1
floating) I receive a reply from 192.168.17.10 (eth0 as ifconfig shows
me!!!).
This make no sense for me....
ifconfig return that 192.168.17.10 is eth0 and 192.168.17.30 is eth1
(floating)....
It seems that eth0 reply to the server instead of eth1!!!
If I hot swap the UTP between the 2 NIC I receive no reply at all... but
making
ifconfig eth0 down 
and ping'ing 192.168.17.30 or 192.168.17.10 will cause eth1 to reply!!!

Excuse me in the case this is not pertinet to the mailing list...

Thank you
Jean Paul
