Besides the very insightful stuff I elided above, what about adding a local route for the VIP instead of adding the address? Of course that works only if the VIP traffic is routed to the address of your load balancer (ie. you don't need neighbor discovery), but this way you can handle full IPv6 subnets as well. -- Regards, Feri. _______________________________________________ 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
