I'm currently using iptables to do nat for PCAnywhere.
It uses 2 ports for it's communication.
IIRC it was:
tcp port 5631 bidirectional
udp port 5632 bidirectional
Another one of those funny protocols.
Is it possible to have lvs handle this type of service?
I remember that you could set a flag in the registry in order to have PCAnywhere
binding only on 5631 and using TCP only. It was something along the lines of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Symantec/pcAnywhere/CurrentVersion/System/TCPIPConnectIfUnknown
You might need to add this key and then set it to 1. If you've done this load
balancing should be a piece of cake. If not you need fwmark and persistency.
There is no other way to achieve it currently.
I was figuring that it's like active ftp and since that has
a special module I may be out of luck...
ftp is also a funny protocol but at least it tries to stay in the same protocol
family ;).
Other "braindead" software going into this direction: some streaming and backup
software.
