Hi James "That's not quite true. IPMP's inbound load spreading makes use of multiple data addresses in a group. When we make outbound connections to multiple peers and there are multiple data addresses, we'll intentionally round-robin select among those addresses to use as source addresses, each with a separate MAC address. That allows the return traffic to be spread among the available links. The other part of the picture is DNS. For spreading of inbound connections, you should insert all of the data addresses as IN A records for a single name, and configure your server so that it does round-robin responses. (If the peers are Solaris, disabling or configuring nscd may be necessary.)"
Can you please tell em a bit more about this, how can IPMP make inbound spreading, because i saw in documentation that test IPs are used explicitly for test pings and availability check only.. so.. i was not able to comprehend, it will be helpful , if you can help me understand, Humble Regards, -- chandan Maddanna.
