I have LVS solutions in place for both Apache and now Squid.
I am not trying to implement a solution for outbound email (inbound in
handled by DNS ... at least its better than nothing!)
I have set up ldirectord as follows....
checktimeout=20
checkinterval=5
autoreload=yes
quiescent=no
logfile="info"
virtual=140.203.7.80:25
real=140.203.7.16:25 gate
real=140.203.9.96:25 gate
service=smtp
checkport=25
checktype=connect
protocol=tcp
scheduler=rr
Watching output from ipvsadm, it does the required health checks and the
RIPs appear in the table. However, when I try to send an email to the
VIP, the client lods and error "no route to host".
Any ideas ... the mailservers ij question are Open VMS but I assume that
shouldn't be an issue as the ldirector nodes will only be passing data
through to the mail servers and not expecting and return traffic (m I
assuming crrelty here .... That they don't need the equivalent of the
VIP on a loopback interface of the node.
