The real_ip is the IP owned by the real server, which is used by the LVS to connect to the real server :-) maybe a graphic is very needed :-) just keep in mind what is purpose of the arptable commands: avoid at all means that the real server announce that it has the VIP as one of it address cu roger __________________________________________ RedHat Certified ( RHCE ) Cisco Certified ( CCNA & CCDA ) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
