[lvs-users] Simple HTTP load balancing

["Sebastien Termeau" <st@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a simple http load balancing between two servers.
I already did the same to load balance mysql queries on two servers and it
was working fine.
However I cannot get it working with HTTP.
To simply everything I decided to work with only one server but it is the
same behavior with two servers.
As soon as I try to connect to the VIP:80, the InActConn counter is
increased by 1.
I also check with tcpdump to see what happen. When I try to connect to the
VIP on port 80, the VIP reply with RST/ACK packet.
Am i missing something? What is wrong with my setup?
Many thanks

The following interfaces are available:
          eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1E:C9:B8:ED:15
          inet addr:192.168.1.149  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          eth0:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1E:C9:B8:ED:15
          inet addr:192.168.1.61  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Apache is listening on the real-ip
