No; several of the tools you may use to configure addresses on adapters are "intelligent" and add entries to the routing tables themselves. This saves you the headache of forgetting to do it. Also, and this is the catch, netmasks on lo mean something a little different to netmasks on other adapters... Always use 255.255.255.255, as per the HOWTO: http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.ipvsadm.html#netmask_for_VIP Graeme _______________________________________________ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - [email protected] Send requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
