understood?
no you don't get it.
I believe I do get it. But I missed an important information about my
load balancing setup. See below.
you setup your webservers with the load balancer as default gateway
then use rdr as I described in my previous mail. hence all the traffic
goes through the load-balancer and real client ips are preserved.
Ah... there we go.
I can't setup the webservers with their default gateway to my load
balancer. The boxes are dedicated servers and I have no possibility to
change the network settings.
These are rented servers (dedicated boxes) at some cheap ISP and all
they have is an official IP address.
Changing the default gateway isn't possible...
Sorry 'bout that.
