Hi, I would like to understand if it's possible to hide a cluster of servers behind 1 public IP address.
Communication between my clients and my server is done over UDP. Communication can be initiated by clients or by one cluster-node. For client initiated use-case, if a client C1 with C1IP ip address send an udp packet to the public VIP address. The loadbalancer receives the packet, examines it and searches if there is a "rule" for it. If there is one, it rewrites destination IP choosing a server (let's say R1 with R1IP address) depending of loadbalancing algorithm and it adds in kind of association table that C1IP is attached to R1IP. In UDP, this association has a configurable lifetime. Does it works for Server initiated use-case ? If I send an udp packet from server-node R2 (R2IP) to C2 (there is no association entry for this IP), does it create a new entry (C2IP<=>R2IP) in the association table. What happened when I send an udp packet from R3 (R3IP) to C1 although C1IP is already associated to R1IP ? does it replace the previous association.
