I don't know how you can tell it's working unless you have two realservers
Well , I have already tested installation with 2 real servers
... Balancing algorithm is not the issue I wanted to point out here...
You can't use stateful filtering as the director doesn't see the reply packets
Does it mean that I am completely wrong when I try to do "high level"
firewalling (open or close some ports) ?
I 'd like to set up a very simple rule : allow only port 80 connections on my
director for the VIP.
Real IP of this server should allow more things.
Need to patch the kernel ?
I 've read the HOWTO, but not sure of response, especially for recent kernels.
Many thanks ,
Yann

only add rules that work.

you can figure it out from the HOWTO. Sorry it's been so long since I wrote
that stuff, and I don't use it myself, that I don't know the answer anymore
