Hi Malcolm,

You should be able to use both scenarios BUT.

The director must have an active interface on the subnet that the RIP is on (because it needs to inform the switch that the dest MAC address has changed.

The RIP must have a default route to the client i.e. via firewall or router (not via the director.)

Both of these conditions are met in my setup,

What I'm seeing is that if I listen on the VIP address on real servers everything works as expected -- full TCP connections are established and everything works perfectly.

I was under the impression that I should set up services running on the real servers (http etc) to listen on the RIP addresses rather than the VIP address.

Am I wrong ?

Thanks!
