Traditionally IPVS-NAT has worked in the form of destination-NAT, that is modifying the destination IP address to that of the real-server. This works well for in a wide range of circumstances. More recently Full NAT support was added. This modifies source IP address to that of the linux-director as well as the destination IP address to that of the selected real-server. An example of where full NAT may be useful is if a real-server wants to access a virtual service handled by the linux-director of the real-server. _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
