What is confusing me is that everything on my network is behind the firewall, so NAT to begin with. Yet, the LVS setup requires a public address and a private one. Both LVS machines do have two NIC's. Both LVS and real servers use the same gateway, 192.168.1.1 for example. The client connections are sent directly to the real servers by using 'DIRECT' connections, I've set up LVS with 192.168.1.150 as the public floating IP that clients connect to. Yet, I keep getting these errors I noted in another reply. What am I missing here? I've not set up anything outside of LVS however because that's not clear to me. Should I be setting up 192.168.1.150 on my second LVS interface manually? Mike > You would probably want direct routing.
