Hello,

I'm trying to set up LVS using Lar's method (as described in the LVS howto).

this requires that the router send packets for the VIP to only the director. It makes the router part of the LVS.


  VIP=157.193.49.102 VIP=157.193.49.102 arp)
  _____________     _____________
 |             |   |             |
 | realserver  |   | realserver  |
 |_____________|   |_____________|
         | (*)            |  (**)
     (router)          (router)
         |                |
         ----------------------------------------------> to client

However I don't understand the following:

Can (*) and (**) be on the same network as the VIP ?

The have both the VIP and an address in the address space of the outgoing router (the ones below the realservers). LVS-Tun is an example of Lar's method. There the realservers are on other networks with their own routers. You can do the same thing with LVS-DR if the routing on the router is setup to only send packets for the VIP to the director.

I've tried to set it up but it doesn't work.

What does "it doesn't work" mean?

 When I ping the virtual ip adres, RS1 or RS2 answer.

when you ping it from where?

Shall I conclude that the not private NIC should be on an other network that the VIP?

don't understand this question sorry

Joe
