Our requirement is that we have to route certain RIP traffic out the same
VIP--we have to have multiple VIPs. This is especially necessary when using
sendmail as an MTA. Certain Sendmail RIPs must send out packets on a
specific VIP. LVS-NAT does not seem to control RIP to VIP packets.
Why do you say that?
The director doesn't control anything that the realservers
do with their packets for any of the forwarding methods,
including where the RIP sends its packets. You have to
handle that. For LVS NAT you route the packets from the
RIP:service to the LVS-NAT director.
So, we are using IPTABLES to associate a certain RIP with
a certain VIP.
I don't know what this means. Are multiple directors
each with different VIPs feeding the one set of realservers?
What's your setup, on which machines are these rules being
run?
If one director has multiple VIPs, then each VIP is
independant of the other and you shouldn't need any iptables
rules.
