Hi, The packets seem to be dying at the router. As I can see the packets being received on the director and the response packets being sent from the real server.
One thing I'm thinking of, that I failed to mention earlier, is that the router does NAT. I've placed the VIP in the DMZ, so the director should be receiving all external packets directly. But the actual machines themselves are in the router's LAN and being NAT'ed. As I'm using LVS-DR, then the only thing that should be being changed in the incoming packet is the MAC address, yes? But then, when the real server responds, it'll have a different MAC address to the incoming packet because it's actually a physically different machine. So my thought is, could this MAC address mismatch be possibly confusing the router's NATting? I guess I could test it by rewriting the MAC address on outgoing packets from the real server to have the MAC of the director, so that, from the router's perspective, the LVS is entirely transparent. Though surely, that said, the source MAC address on outgoing packets shouldn't really matter, I'd have thought.
