Re: Real & virtual ip address confusion

[John Reuning <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, you're right.  Sorry about the incorrect terminology.  Here's a more
detailed diagram of the director:

external          ---------------    internal
                  |                 |
152.2.210.38    |                 |  192.168.210.38
   (DIP)      ---|                 |---
                  |                 |
152.2.210.81    |                 |  192.168.210.81
    (VIP)        |                 |
                   ---------------

The director has 2 physical interfaces, each on a separate network
segment.  The x.x.x.38 addresses are primary on their respective
interfaces.  The real servers are configured with the internal x.x.x.81
address as their default route.

So, the question is 'why is the director responding to http requests
with its DIP instead of the VIP'?

Thanks,
