That's news to me. I remember according to the docs even when using dispatch mode, a layer3 hop is still required. I've tried endless times to get L2 adjacent hosts to use virtual server addresses on the same subnet/l2 with no luck. Even in dispatch mode I don't think the router will re-write the mac in the packets unless it traverses a L3 hop. Correct me if I'm wrong and point me to the documentation that proves this please. -Robert _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
