I have followed the HOW-TO to the letter (except I only have one real server), and I have learned an amazing amount of information about linux in the last two weeks, but it still doesn’t work. here is the scenario….
I have 2 3Com (3c90x.o loaded) and piranha setup. VIP1 is 192.168.200.200 LVS1 is 192.168.200.201 LVS2 is 192.168.200.202 on the “external” addresses. Internally, I have lvs1 is 192.168.100.201 and LVS2 is 192.168.100.202. VGW(Virtual Gateway) is 192.168.100.254. RS1 is 192.168.100.101 with GW 192.168.100.254 and is running ONLY http service for this test. I am using rcp/rsh for synch, and am able to rsh and rcp on both lvs boxes.
another way to look at it..
LVS1:
Eth0 IP = 192.168.200.201
Eth0:1 IP = 192.168.200.200
Eth1 IP = 192.168.100.201
Eth1:1 IP = 192.168.100.254
Default gateway 192.168.200.1
LVS2:
Eth0 IP = 192.168.200.202
Eth0:1 IP = 192.168.200.200
Eth1 IP = 192.168.100.202
Eth1:1 IP = 192.168.100.254
Default gateway 192.168.200.1
RS1:
Eth0 IP = 192.168.100.101
Default gateway 192.168.100.254
Piranha seems to be setup correctly, and no errors given when started or applied. From both LVS I can ping all of the above addresses, and from RS1 I can ping both LVS internal addresses, “floating” gateway address, and both lvs external addresses, but nothing beyond that. I cannot ping the DNS (192.168.200.82:192.168.200.83). The only thing I haven’t tried is using true external addresses with existing internal addresses. I am going to try using true external addresses, but I don’t see how this will make much difference. Anyone with any knowledge, or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated.
