Hi,
I'm trying to set up a fallback directive in ldirectord for a service
that I'm using LVS-NAT to load balance to.
My setup closely follows the examples[1] that I've seen about the internet:
ldirectord.cf:
# Global Directives
checktimeout=3
checkinterval=5
fallback=127.0.0.1:80
autoreload=yes
logfile="/var/log/ldirectord.log"
quiescent=yes
virtual=134.115.4.218:80
real=10.50.48.11:7778 masq
real=10.50.48.12:7778 masq
fallback=127.0.0.1:80
service=http
request="/index.html"
receive="Welcome"
virtualhost=my.murdoch.edu.au
scheduler=lc
persistent=600
#netmask=255.255.255.255
protocol=tcp
when the realservers are down, ipvsadm gives me this:
IP Virtual Server version 1.2.1 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
-> RemoteAddress:Port Forward Weight ActiveConn InActConn
TCP my.murdoch.edu.au:www lc persistent 600
-> localhost.localdomain:www Local 1 0 0
and when I try to connect, ipvsadm -Lcn give me:
IPVS connection entries
pro expire state source virtual destination
TCP 00:48 SYN_RECV 134.115.82.191:4437 134.115.4.218:80 127.0.0.1:80
TCP 00:50 SYN_RECV 134.115.82.191:4457 134.115.4.218:80 127.0.0.1:80
TCP 00:49 SYN_RECV 134.115.82.191:4447 134.115.4.218:80 127.0.0.1:80
TCP 00:49 SYN_RECV 134.115.82.191:4441 134.115.4.218:80 127.0.0.1:80
And I have an apache instance listening on 127.0.0.0:80.
Trouble is that the connection doesn't actually appear work - I get a
connection error.
Digging a little deeper, it seems that all I get is the client
workstation sends a SYN to port 80 on the VIP, and gets returned a RST/ACK.
I've seen a response in the mail list archives from a similar problem
that suggests that I have my apache server listen on *:80 instead, but
surely can't be right, because that would be an actual service listening
on the port, rather than a redirection by ipvs?
(the ldirectord man page tells me it could a redirection to anywhere:
fallback = ip_address|hostname[:portnumber|sercvicename]
[gate|masq|ipip]
the server onto which a webservice is redirected if all
real servers are down. Typically this would be 127.0.0.1
with an emergency page.
This directive may also appear within a virtual server, in
which case it will overide the global fallback server, if
set.)
So, what is it that I've got misconfigured? Or is it a case of not
understanding what it is that the fallback directive actually does in
this case?
