i'm trying to setup LVS, and tried both the lvs-dr and the lvs-nat, but can't get any to work. I'm hoping people here can answer a few questions that might help and shed light onto the situation? #1 with regards to the Real Servers, is there anything that needs to be configured other that the http service? I ask this, because I suspect yes, and it has to do with what type of LVS you have: 1a) lvs-dr: on the RIP of the web servers, create an lo:0 and assign the VIP to it 1b ) lvs-nat: on the RIP of the web servers, make sure the default gw points to the inside network card eth1 1b) lvs-nat: on the LVS, with 2 nics, eth1 (private where web servers are located): 192.168.0.100, and create a nat gateway of 192.168.0.254, where the real web servers gw is, and make it eth1:1 how do I go about getting diagnostic info from all this? pulse? i can't connect at all to any of the web servers.. If any has the time, i will glady send my configs.. Thanks! william -- --------------- Morpheus: After this, there is no turning back.
