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!
