(Seriously, i read the howto. Sorry if it seems i dont.) I am here:
7.7.2. Realserver's default gw, route to realserver from router I have the realserver (192.168.2.xx) in the private network. My default gateway for this network does NAT only. I can not use it to route back to the client. It does not pass "VIP -> CIP" to the next "internet" router. So an alternative is what i need, which is not covered in the howto: I can use the second interface (eth1) on the realserver, setting on it an "internet" IP and changing the default route to the "internet" router. Then i have a default route to the client, which works perfectly. $ ip route add default via $router dev eth1 But i dont want to do this, since i waste this exact IP plus the realserver is reachable from the internet. So i bring up eth1 without IP: $ ifconfig eth1 0 up And putting the VIP on lo:0: $ ifconfig lo:0 $VIP netmask 255.255.255.255 up And say, that all traffic shall go over eth1 in general: $ ip route add default dev eth1 This is not enough, since it doesnt know yet, that the traffic on eth1 shall go to $router. So i try this by "ip route", which does not work: $ ip route add default via $router dev eth1 But with the route command it works: $ route add default gw $router dev eth1 Now i have all what i want! And it works. I can even ping. But i am not sure, if that is alright. Not that the router thinks now, that the VIP belongs to the realserver and does not use the LoadBalancer anymore. Mh. And what is weird now as well, when i watch the routing table, that there it is written, what the "ip route" actually denied me to do: $ ip route ... default via $router dev eth1 default dev eth1 scope link But I can remove the rule: $ ip route del default via $router dev eth1 But i can not add it again with "ip route add", just with "route add" as before. # not working: ip route add default via $router dev eth1 # working: route add default gw $router dev eth1 Weird, weird, weird. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ipvs-or-apache-mod_proxy-mod_balancer-tp24184926p24327104.html Sent from the LVS mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [email protected] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
