Re: Using iptables redirect for ARP problem on red hat real servers

[Malcolm Turnbull <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But I've got

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d VIP -j REDIRECT

working on several 2.4 kernel real servers, are you sure its not "2.2 only" 
when trying to do transparent proxy on the director ?
I just want it on the real server to prevent ARP problems when the director is 
in DR mode...
Ultamonkey site implies that it works (transparent proxy that is)?

Might just change the site to NAT mode to resolve the current issue....
