Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get past a sticky routing situation by running routed on all of my machines in my server cluster. I've been instructed by several sources of authority that the best solution for a multi-homed ip address scenario is bind the ip addresses to the loopback device and use routed to advertise their presence.
I'm having difficulty getting routed to bind to the loopback device. By default, routed seems to think the loopback device should be in passive mode - which causes routed to completely ignore all ips associated with the device. (Perhaps this is to avoid advertising routes to 127.0.0.1?) In any case, I was just curious as to whether anyone has every dealt with a situation like this before.
Is there some sort of trick to getting routed to work with the loopback device? I want the loopback device to be active for routed, not passive.
Thanks!
Michael Jeung
