Hello all. I've posted this here in the LVS mailing
list after not hearing back from any other mailing list. Hopefully I have not
broken the rules too bad (-;
I currently have a system which has a Tyan 2515
Motherboard. This motherboard features a Dual Intel 82559 NIC.
The problem I am face is that which using both
ports of this dual interface network card (plugged into the same switch) I find
that the second interface is answering arp requests (on
rare occasions) that the first interface should be answering.
I have used tcpdump and clearly seen eth1 answering
arps requests that eth0 should be answering... how odd.... It's rare, but when
it happens of course that address is offline. (Note this only seems to happen on
alias IP address, it has never happened on the primary interface)
I am using the open source drivers provided with
the 2.2.19 kernel, I'm wondering if the drivers provided by Intel would help
this problem? Does anyone have any other suggestions, or for that matter has
anyone else run into this problem? Could this possibly be a problem with
aliasing?
Thanks for all your thoughts,
Michael McConnell
