Hi All,
In my quest for setting up LVS-Tun we encountered another problem.
MTU and fragmentation is a known problem. First some back ground
information.
1. We can't use LVS-DR because our machines are all over the place.
(Thank the ISP)
2. The setup comprises of 2 machines. 1 director and 1 Real Server.
3. We are using RHEL 4.
The setup works when the packet size is small. When the packet size
increase (because of cookies) we experience timeouts.
I have gone through the MTU fragmentation section of the Howto but
haven't been able to solve the problem. We changed the MTU value on
the director, RS and tunl0 individually and combined but that didn't
help either.
Am pasting the tcpdump output on the director.

If needed I can post the configuration file of ldirectord.
