Hey guys, I know that this is a question that will need to be directed to the PFSense router team but I was hoping I could get some information on the issue from you guys first to help narrow down the cause. So here goes.
I have a basic LVS-DR balancing ports 80 and 443 between two real servers using weighted round robin with persistence engaged. In the event of a real server crash ipvsadm shows that the failed server's weight is now 0 and if I hit the the VIP from my LAN my request is routed to the remaining server without issue. The problem arises when I perform a failover test using the WAN IP that I have routing to the VIP using NAT. In this case, the request is still trying to be routed to the crashed server. I came across this patch that addressed the issue in LVS itself. http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.persistent_connection.html#new_persistence What I am wondering is if you can give me some idea for how that patch fixed the issue so I can convey the information to PFSense and see if they have a mechanism I can trigger manually to achieve the same effect?
