Hello James! The configuration will have about 10 vserver clients running apache/php5 talking to a mysql server. Each vserver client has a regular (routable) IP address, but each has the same MAC address as the hosting server. I would like to use IPTables to block the client vservers from

Re: [Vserver] Routing in VServers

2007-02-14 Thread Christian Affolter
Hi! I've five linux VServers, each with it's own _real_ IP address (not 192.168.x.y, 10.x, etc). Those are real too ;) Just not supposed to be routed on the public Internet. Each one has it's own services but I'd like to close access from outside to some ports, but allow full communication
