hello sir, we are a group of students working on a linux clusturing project.We had implemented Linux VirtualServer(LVS) with two squid servers (realservers) with LVS-DR method.Please help us as our project is almost getting successful. Now we are trying ldirectord to detect failure of squid servers.We are using following:- On LVS-------------------------------- VIP--------------10.11.151.24 DIP---------------10.11.150.98 On Realserver1 (squid server)----------------------------- RIP-----------------------10.11.150.82 VIP-----------------------10.11.151.24 On Realserver2 (squid server)------------------------------- RIP------------------10.11.150.96 VIP------------------10.11.151.24 As we know that in case of LVS-DR the realserver is directly serving the client and not through the LVS.So, how the ldirectord on LVS will detect the failure of squid servers. Then we tried the martian modification patch "forward_shared-----" on the director and issued the following commands:- echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forward_shared echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/DIP/forward_shared Then we made the default gateway of squid servers as DIP. After that we edited the file /etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf as follows:- quiscent=no virtual=10.11.151.24:3128 real=10.11.150.82 :3128 gate real=10.11.150.96:3128 gate scheduler=wrr persistence=600 protocol=tcp As the service "squid" was not there in the man page of ldirectord we had not defined the service field. Now we started all the services like ipvsadm ,ldirectord ,squid on LVS & realservers.But whenever any of the squid server is going down ,its entry is not removed from the ipvsadm table.Also the client ( which was connected to failed server) is not getting connected to the working squid server automatically. What could be the problem ,sir ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
