Hi all I am a newbie to routing and I have a problem. I am trying to setup a Load Balanced router with the help of Advanced Routing and iproute2. I came across netsane script(http://muse.linuxmafia.org/netsane/) and Christopher Simon's nano how to which told me some basic steps to do so. As i follwed these I ran into a few questions and problems. 1. Is it possible that I have no default gateway added I only have a default gateway added to the routing tables. But when I tried doing so, my applications failed to work since they could not find a gateway to exit. Does the Linux routing module look at all the possible tables as per their priority to find a route or a gateway to send the packet. Or does it look only into the main and local tables 2. When I use it to do Load Balancing will it be possible for me load balance based on sessions rather than based on peer IP addresses, since this limits when I am not directly connected to multiple IP addresses. When I am have a few machines generating quite a traffic it will not be load balanced since a route is already there in the routing cache and will be time and again used. Looking forward to your help -- regards Sriram _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
