Yes, the ARP problem was my first thought.
But i checked it on the realservers (we did it with arptables)
Chain IN (policy ACCEPT)
DROP anywhere thesite.com anywhere anywhere
DROP anywhere 192.168.3.61 anywhere anywhere
DROP anywhere 192.168.3.61 anywhere anywhere
Chain OUT (policy ACCEPT)
mangle anywhere thesite.com anywhere anywhere
mangle anywhere 192.168.3.61 anywhere anywhere
mangle anywhere 192.168.3.62 anywhere anywhere
followed by: --mangle-ip-s realserver1.thesite.com (for all 3)
This seems to be correct, also i changed the scheduling from Least
connections to Round robin. Every realserver gets his share now.
But, the problem still exist, sessions are suddenly cut-off and users
are beeing kicked to another realserver.
It does not look to me like an LVS problem... is there a check i can do
to rule out the ARP problem?
