Hi Everyone, I am trying to learn LVS and have created the setup below (better formatting at Server Fault http://serverfault.com/questions/816026/lvs-load- balancer-not-getting-response). The LVS setup seems correct, but it appears that the connections never make it to the real server, even though traffic is being sent from the director. I am under the impression that no iptables rules are required since the real server is added with masquerade. Is this incorrect? I have read through the HOWTO multiple times but am not clear on what is needed.
