Hi Graeme,

Thank you for your response. Yes, you are right, it seems to be the problem.

In that situation, what is recommended routing technique to achieve
high availability ? NAT obviously is not, since I would need to change
default gw with every failover, which is not simple at all. Direct
routing is not an option, since I would like to have real servers in
private IP range. Would direct routing do the job then ?

Best regards,
Dusan
