From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx>
Dmitry Akindinov is reporting for a problem where
SYNs are looping between the master and backup server
when the backup server is used as real server in DR mode
and has IPVS rules to function as director.
Even when the backup function is enabled we
continue to forward traffic and schedule new connections
when the current master is using the backup server as
real server. While this is not a problem for NAT, for
DR and TUN method the backup server can not determine
if a request comes from client or from director.
To avoid such loops add new sysctl flag
backup_only. It can be needed for DR/TUN setups that
do not need backup and director function at the
same time. When the backup function is enabled we
stop any forwarding and pass the traffic to the local
stack (real server mode). The flag disables the
director function when the backup function is enabled.
For setups that enable backup function for
some virtual services and director function for
other virtual services there should be another more
complex solution to support DR/TUN mode, may be to
assign per-virtual service syncid value, so that
we can differentiate the requests.
