I'm trying to set up basic load distribution using the following: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $addr -p udp --dport 53 -m statistic --mode nth --every 2 --packet 0 -j DNAT --to $fe1 iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d $addr -p udp --dport 53 -m statistic --mode nth --every 2 --packet 1 -j DNAT --to $fe2 (I know I can achieve pretty much the same using "options rotate" in resolv.conf, but humour me). I'm testing the setup with a simple "dig <host>", and it seems to be working, except that I get a hang ("no servers could be reached") on every 4th query. It is a consistently reproducable behaviour. I'm using iptables 4.0 and kernel 2.6.24.3. Can anyone spot anything I've missed? thanks Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
