I am trying to setup LVS on CentOS 5.4 using piranha/pulse. Ideally (I think) I would like to do direct routing so that I can still have my real servers (apache machines) able to connect directly to the internet.
However, I'm not able to get the apache servers to respond correctly to the Virtual IP requests. From tcpdump it seems like the requests are being forwarded to the real server from the LVS but I don't get the page returned to me in my browser, and I don't see the request being sent out in tcpdump on the apache real server. I believe I have the virtual IP setup correctly on the real server. As a caveat though, if the real server responds and the apache server response goes out on it's external IP (which would be different than the Virual IP) -- isn't my firewall going to block that connection since it is not the IP of the connection I originally tried to establish? I also tried NAT briefly but was not able to get a connection there either. Is NAT the suggested way of doing this? It seems like indirect routing would be inconvenient/difficult if you had many virtual servers on the real apache servers and multiple SSL sites running as well.
