Hi all,
After some serious head scratching, lots of searching, and much brow
furrowing, I can't find an answer to this simple question about
bridges and load balancing with OpenBSD:
Can one do inbound load balancing between a couple of web servers
(box01 & box02) when running two OBSD machines as bridging firewalls
w/CARP on the front end? If not, is there some other way (without
having the ISP route our /24 for us) for us to pull this off?
FWIW in the present scenario below, I'm pointing to 208.12.17.225 with
all our machines in /etc/mygate.
The network looks like this:
INTERNET
/|\
|
[ISP's ROUTER] (208.12.17.225/32<-- Part of 208.12.17.224/29.))
/|\
|
[MY SWITCH01]
/ \
/ \
[gw1]====[gw2] (OBSD bridges 208.12.17.226 & .227<-- Part of
208.12.17.224/29.)
/|\ /|\
| |
[MY SWITCH02]
/|\ /|\
| |
[box01] [box02] (208.19.20.25 & 208.19.20.27<--Part of 208.19.20.0/24)
Thanks so much for your $.03 on this everyone.
Kevin
