so yah, i've always seen the following settings applied to /etc/sysctl.conf on linux hosts that are behind DR/DSR vips: net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_ignore=1 net.ipv4.conf.lo.arp_announce=2 net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1 net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2 [jdahl@proxy-3-edge ~]$
however after reading yoru email again, I'm not thinking this is the issue. I assume you are allowing a permit in iptables to the VIP IP on the real servers? > > Hello, > > I just configured an environment of two LVS servers with three real > servers, and it works fine ... in the same network.
