I'm trying to setup a couple of LVS servers on CentOS 5 and hitting
difficulties.
I've been googl'ing around the docs (it mostly all gets back to
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/mini-HOWTO/LVS-mini-HOWTO.html)
for a few days now but can't get it to work. It sometimes work
temporarily but very quickly a few fail-overs made things totally
unworkable.
One issue I suspect that might be in my way to success is that the two
servers (I'm trying to use same two servers both as ldirectors and
real servers) are assigned to two separate /28 networks, BUT the
virtual rack (from ThePlanet) allows both of them to be assigned
addresses from each other's network so I assigned an address from the
correct network on an alias on the other server (eth0:0).
Does anyone have a working example for this on CentOS 5? The docs I
found so far are mostly generic and talk a lot about ancient kernel
versions like 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4.
I subscribed to the lvs-users mailing list but I'm not sure how active it is.
Thanks,
