Oh, interesting. arp_announce and arp_ignore. Thanks for the hint. Ah, but those are only for physical interfaces and will even affect so-called virtual interfaces (i.e., eth0:0). How much more latency are you talking about? Using horm's method I was able to transfer 9.8Gbps through a whole bunch of gridftp servers back in '05 and the traffic on the director only increased 100-200kbps. Granted, latency != throughput, all the time. Ah, yes, now I'm starting to remember why horm's wrote the transparent proxy stuff: arptables still wasn't available in RH kernels. Now that it is, I may look at. But, I'm rather happy to keep my transparent proxy stuff in iptables from days of yore, if it works.
