Hi. I have an opportunity to run a node multi-homed. I have two completely separate outgoing interfaces that are load balanced.
The problem is, I can only specify one address/name in the config file (correct me if I am wrong here, please). So, the node always reports it's one specified name, which means it is always specified on the one interface. I know that I could specify multiple addresses using DNS for a single host, but this probably won't make the optimal use of load balancing, as I am guessing that it is always the first address supplied to the remote node that will get used... And besides, this would mean that I would have to use a service such as Granite Canyon, or a set up a DNS server myself on my server to make this happen. I do plan to do this, but I haven't gotten around to it yet... In the meantime, though, is there a way a feature could be added that would let nodes recognize the "multihomedness" (new word?)? At the moment, I am getting outgoing traffic load balanced, but all the incoming traffic to the node is going through the interface specified in the config file. Before you ask, yes I have the appropriate port forwarding already sorted out. Can anyone advise on a best way to handle this? I don't want to run two separate nodes. Regards.
