Hello,
I'm trying to setup IPVS-DR (because of its scalability promise) rather
than NAT, when setting up the VIP to be on the same logical subnet as
the RIP everything works perfectly.
Now I'm trying exactly the same setup and machines but this time my VIP
is an external, Internet routable address and the RIP remains the same,
belonging to an internal subnet. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to
work, the client connecting to the VIP from the outside world gets a TCP
reset -- this reset is being sent from the real server. The ldirector
machine counts each connection as an InActConn.
Interestingly, if I use netcat to listen on the real server for the VIP
address, I get a full TCP connection.
In both of these setups I'm currently only using one real server to
simplify things, on the real server the loopback interface is set with
the VIP and ARP workarounds are turned on.
I also tried making the RIP be on the same Internet routable subnet that
the VIP is on, that also produced the same TCP reset.
As for versions, I'm using kernel 2.6.16 and the latest heartbeat debian
unstable package, 2.0.5.
Any help or advice or hints are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
