Hi all

I am testing LVS using a tomcat server (real server) to pass hl7 (medical) 
messages to an end application.  The setup looks like this:                     
                                                  
 _                                             _               _                
  
|_| Medical information server -> |_| LVS ->  |_|  tomcat  ->     _
                                                      |           _             
    -> |_| end user application 
                                                      | -> ->  |_|   tomcat ->  
                          

The load balancer is setup using direct routing.  There are mulitple port 
numbers in the 8000 and 9000 range running across a single VIP.  Approximately  
50000 messages are currently processed with double that planned over the next 
year.

The question/problem:  The tomcat server must return an acknowledgement to the 
medical information server.  On the three ports that I am testing the ports are 
going into a close_wait state on the real server.  I believe it is because the 
acknoweldgement is either not getting to the medical information server or that 
it is receiving it from the real ip of the LVS router.  

Is this the correct way to set this up for what I want to accomplish so that 
the acknowledgment is properly returning to the medical information server?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
John Little
