Hi List, I'm about to try something like this:
+----------+ +------------------+ /------ IPSec terminator 1 (10.0.100.100) Road warriors (Clients) <---> | internet | <---> | LVS (ldirectord) | ==== +----------+ +-------(NAT)------+ \------ IPSec terminator 2 (10.0.100.101) Read: Road warriors connect to a LVS machine (managed by ldirectord) which in turn forwards IPSec to backend (real) servers. Hence NAT is being used, only ESP may work (if at all), as NAT destroys AH. I'm using fwmarks, as it should be as transparent as possible. ldirectord.cf: virtual=1 real=10.0.100.100 masq real=10.0.100.101 masq service=none scheduler=wlc protocol=fwm checktype=ping # checktype=connect # checkport=500 iptables is configures accordingly: Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination MARK all -- 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.100.100 MARK set 0x1 MARK all -- 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.100.101 MARK set 0x1 and # IPSec -A INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT # IPSec/IKE -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 500 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 4500 -j ACCEPT Usual stuff (net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1, net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_ignore = 1, net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_announce = 2) is also in place. However, although ldirectord sees the terminators up and running, nothing happens when trying to initiate an IKE. IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096) Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags -> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn FWM 1 wlc -> 10.0.100.100:0 Masq 1 0 0 -> 10.0.100.101:0 Masq 1 0 0 Any idea what may be wrong here? I see packets coming in on the front door, but nothing happens after this. Is it even possible to "load balance" IPSec this way?
