Hi, I've got a configured and functioning failover pair of load balancers that I've just come to add another interface to, in this case the VIP is in our external DMZ where we've only got 16 public IPs.
On the other networks each load balancer has had an IP address, aswell as the shared VIP and everything has worked as expected, however now addresses are at higher contention I've tried to just configure the LVS boxes to only have the VIP on the new network (via haresources). When I try use the new configuration the boxes bring up the interfaces correctly, can ping other hosts (gateway, other servers) on the target networks but not the real servers, whereas the real servers suffer no disruption pinging the VIP (which does transfer). The result is that with the load balancers configured in this way they don't pass traffic to the real servers, presumably for the same reason they can't ping them, but I'm not sure why this is - they have an IP on the correct subnet and the routes in place. Are the extra interfaces/IPs required on every network, if not, could anyone suggest what I might try next or if this has been discussed before, point be in the direction of that thread (I couldn't find anything, but couldn't come up with decent search terms either).
