Hello I have made iptables rules for load balancing traffic over a set of ports. When packets coming through eth0, this load balancing works perfect. But when packets are coming through loopback interface 'lo' ( another process in the same machine writes to <ipaddress>:<destinationport>, load balancing rules are not getting into effect. Is this expected behaviour or do I need to do some settings to get it worked. My server is debian based linux. Below are my rules -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i lo --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3477 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i lo --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 3 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3478 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i lo --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 2 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3479 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i lo --dport 3477 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3480 -A PREROUTING -i lo -m multiport -p tcp --dports 3477:3480 -j TURN_TCP -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3477 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 3 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3478 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3477 -m statistic --mode nth --every 2 --packet 0 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3479 -A TURN_TCP -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3477 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3480 -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -m multiport -p tcp --dports 3477:3480 -j TURN_TCP Thanks and regards ~S -- 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
