Hi, I want to implement VIPAs in my linux environment. First of all I defined an alias on the network interface. Fine. This alias got my VIPA-adress. In order to propagate this address to the network I used zebra/ospfd... I was able to ping the address and I could use it. Till here, everything is fine.
Now I have the problem that all network communication is bind to the "hardware"-address and not the the VIPA. My application checks the ip-addresses (incoming and outgoing) which results in an error, because I can connect to a system with the VIPA-address and the system comes back with the hardware-address. I tried the IBM tool srv_vipa, but I still have problems. This tool works fine for ssh, but fails for rsh... our application does internally something like rsh.... bad for us. My question now. How can I tell linux that all ip-traffic is bind to my VIPA-address? regards, - Tim -
