I'm using iptables (smacks self for not mentioning this initially) as well. Generally, I'm only allowing connections to either machine using directives similar to:

iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE -d $IP -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $IFACE -s $IP -p tcp --sport 80 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

My logging isn't catching any errors, but then again, I may simply be dropping the ACKs to the realserver without logging them.

Does anyone have any suggestions for accomodating this within iptables? My guess is it may be as simple as allowing the director to make connections to port 80 on the realserver without regard to the connection state? Is that logic on the right track, or is there a more elegant (and secure) way to accomplish this? I apologize if this ends up bleeding into an iptables problem. ;)

Again, I appreciate the assistance.

        By some reason the above ACK is not sent to the real server,
do you have any firewall rules on the director? The RS receives
only the first SYN and replies to it but no ACK is received.
