Hi,

The problem was that lvs-dr requires the vip to be bound to a lo0 on each of the jails, rather than just the jailhosts lo0 interface.

By applying a patch to the jail subsystem that allows multiple ip's (http://www.digitaldaemon.com/FreeBSD/FreeBSD/index.html) I was able to run a jail with lo0 assigned the ip of the vip.

thanks for straightening us (me) out on this. I just looked up the wikipedia entry for FreeBSD jails

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Jail

which I knew nothing about. Sounds pretty neat.

I hope this helps some other folks using freebsd jails, this one has stumped me for a few days.

Why do you use the FreeBSD jails? You have multiple instances of realservers on each host? Why (you're getting less throughput / node)?

Thanks Joe
