Hi Dima and Laura, Thank you so much for your replies! While I understand that a l4txnat farm does not work properly if the real servers are on the same subnet as the farm and when the request comes from an IP also on the same subnet, I am not understanding how that is related to this situation. All requests to this farm come from external addresses and all requests to the real servers come from the DNAT farm and are configured to respond through the load balancer's IP as its gateway.
If there is some unknown bug that surfaces when l4txnat farms are on the same subnet as their real servers, then that is a different matter and I'll certainly reconfigure my environment. Otherwise, I don't see how it applies. Especially since the customers who are having problems are demonstrably coming from external IPs. Could you explain? Thank you! - Jay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:26:11 -0500 From: "Dima Polyakov" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Zenloadbalancer-support] How to log request activity for troubleshooting To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Jay, If you look on mailing list there was a similar question when l4 farm worked and sometimes it did not - the reason for that was that backend servers were set up on the same subnet as VIP for the farm (your case). I believe it was Laura who said for l4 farm you should have different subnet for backend servers, so NAT will work properly. I can confirm, that when I changed to different subnet, my farm star working fine. Then I added extra adapters to each server to have a direct local network connection from/to other servers (outside of farm) in our network. You can also google "iptables" and its logs.

As the NAT mode work properly, you're missing something with the DNAT configuration. The best way to know what is happening in your network is through tcpdump or similar.
