Hello list,

I'm having some odd issues with our loadbalancers. After a longer (don't have 
any exact numbers) period of non-interrupted uptime, the counters for our 
various real/virtual servers seem to get 'stuck'. The loadbalancer is running 
Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP3:
# uname -a
Linux ismlnx-lb06 2.6.5-7.286-smp #1 SMP Thu May 31 10:12:58 UTC 2007 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# ipvsadm -v
ipvsadm v1.24 2003/06/07 (compiled with getopt_long and IPVS v1.2.0)

When I just checked the output of ipvsadm -L -n, I noticed that my 
workstation's ip address was listed various times, even though I hadn't 
access one of our loadbalanced sites in a while. Here's some details on 
what's happening .I verified that there was no traffic flowing between my 
workstation and the loadbalancer. The counters seem to get reset when they 
hit 0, which shouldn't be the case I'd say. Is this a known 
problem/bug/configuration issue? I'm using heartbeat+ldirectord (version 
1.2.3) to control our loadbalance configurations.

# while true ; do ipvsadm -L -nc | grep 10.0.0.66 ; echo ; echo === ; echo ; 
sleep 10 ; done

Extra info: we do have a FWM #203 configured (pointing to 213.247.48.24 & 
213.247.48.25), but (since quite a while) not for 213.247.48.203.

Kind regards,
