[root@web4]# uname -a

[root@web4]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 4)
I've already set this:
ifconfig lo:0 <VIP> netmask 255.255.255.255
And trying your suggestion for the arp setting in /etc/sysctl.conf yields:
[root@web4]# sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
error: 'net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore' is an unknown key
error: 'net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce' is an unknown key
error: 'net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore' is an unknown key
error: 'net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce' is an unknown key
kernel.sysrq = 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
[root@web4]#
I guess the above is due to the version I have or no patch installed? Is it
that I'm missing the noarp module?? Where do I get that if so?

Subject: Re: Initial setup
What version is your kernel? I run LVS-DR on Fedora Core 3 with no patches.
Seems to work OK, I haven't noticed any issues.
You can check ifconfig -a
for dummy/tun devices or lo aliases.
check /etc/sysctl.conf for things like:
# ipvs settings for realservers:
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce = 2
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce = 2
To set up a 2.6.10 kernel for use as a real server AFAIK all that is
required is:
* add lo alias with the vip address, something like (if your vip is
10.1.1.59) :
ifconfig lo:2 10.1.1.59 netmask 255.255.255.255
* add the arp settings to sysctl.conf
* run sysctl -p
* you may want to restart any programs that run socket listeners that you
wish to usr with LVS just to be sure and review their
config to be sure they are listening on 127.0.0.1
use ipvsadm to add the server to a vip and test it - I recommend testing
against smtp or a simple web server to isolate LVS issues
from any complex application configuration issues.
Good Luck

Doc says "when we lost the industrial revolution (to industry)
we lost the meaning of our names." Crafts we replaced by jobs,
work was reduced to labor, and our occupations were reduced to
positions somewhere in the org chart. The identity revolution
has the power to give people back the meaning of their names.
