In trying to figure out a LVS configuration to load balance firewallsI have
gotten stuck with one problem.
the scenerio below is drasticly simplified, I can go into more detail if people
think it would help.
inbound traffic to a box can arrive through either box B or box C (depending on
factors outside this problem)
B C
\ /
A
|
D
box A routes the traffic on to box D
box D replies to the connection (sending the packets to box A)
box A needs to figure out which box (B or C) the connection came through in the
first place and use that as the gateway for the reply packets.
the nearest thing I can think of to a solution would be for box A to remember
the MAC address that started the connection and then use it as the gateway for
reply packets that are part of that connections. I don't know how to do this
(or even if it's possible)
please copy me on replies as I am not subscribed to the list.
