i am using "SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris". The problem i am trying to fix is called "LVS: The ARP Problem", http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.arp_problem.html (sorry if i am not allowed to post URL'S) i have a load balancer which represents some servers under the same VIP and i need to prevent the servers under the VIP to send thier ARP back to the client instead of the LVS sending his ARP to the client so the client wont established a connection to the servers not through the lvs. thus the configuration that make sense to me was to set a second loopback adapter and assign the VIP ip and disable it from replying the arp to the client. i know i can block it from the router side but unfortunatlly its not in my hands. thus is my solution make any sense or am i missing something?
i have tried the following (below) again on my test machine and its working after a reboot, the question is will it respond to ARP or not and is this the right way to do it? vi /etc/hostname.lo0:1 192.168.1.233 -arp netmask 255.255.255.255 up Thanks in advanced -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
