The boxes have to go through the LVS box to talk to outside world. It
works fine for local names. Its when they need to talk to outside name
servers that issue happens.
If I had hazard a guess, I'd say the fact that bind is set to force the
source port set to 53 is part of the problem.
And the problem definitely coincides with the new kernel. I'm making
some assumptions here, but I *think* the replies to external queries
aren't making back to real server that made request (perhaps its going
to another real server).
The problem is coming and going. Its not happening right now, so I
can't get any captures.
Thanks,
John
