Ok. Perhaps my ideas for monitoring are not great.
But without speaking about the LVS function, I just wonder if it is normal
that I obtain an arp reply from my eth0 interface concerning the ip
address configured on the loopback lo:0 (since a have the hidden parameter
set up).
I have read on "http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/hidden.txt" that with the hidden
patch, the hidden interface do not reply to arp broadcasts.
in my case :
- the ARP probe is a broadcast one
- This is not a cache problem because I can see the eth0 interface
replying to the arp request.
