Hello.

This customer has a cluster made up of two 4000 appliances, as usual, it
was configured consuming 3 public IPs (one for each cluster member and one
as virtual IP for the cluster), now he ran out of public IPs and asks if
something can be done to use a single public IP (virtual one) and use
private IPs on the external interfaces of the cluster members.

I found documentation stating it CAN be done, but it does not provide any
details so I would like to know if anyone here has done it before and can
give me the whole picture.

Besides changing the IPs on each cluster member from public to private, is
there something else that needs to be configured differently? Is there some
sort of downtime when this change is done? Besides the obvious fact that,
from the Internet, it will only be possible to access via SSH or WebGUI the
active cluster member, is there any other implication of doing this change?

Any extra piece of info regarding this scenario anyone can provide, will be
very appreciated.

Regards
