Hi everyone, I'm currently sourcing open-source router solutions and have chanced upon Vyatta. Still tinkering with it.
I currently have an infrastructure that only has a Load Balncer with 2 VLANs: VLAN #2: Public domain --> that's where the public IPs reside, and where servers not being load-balanced are VLAN #3: Private Domain --> this where the servers for the load-balanced "farms" are located. Private IPs, not routable to the internet (as there is no router, hence the need for a router) The public IPs representing the farms are located on the Load Balancer as Virtual IPs (VIP). As attached, I am trying to achieve that setup, but I realise I need my datacentre to give me a separate line to the router (of a different subnet) so that I can maintain my original use of the ip addresses set... and yet be able to get routing info... or am I wrong to think that? Looking at the diagram, the servers squared up is VLAN#3, the private domain. Thats one subnet (private address). The connection between the router and the load balancer can be a /30 private ip subnet, no issue. The big issue is that if the uplink coming in from the top is from the public domain subnet, I won't be able to specify the VIP in the Load Balancer using IPs from the same public domain subnet, because the router won't know where to route isn't it? At least the test setup I did with a simple router shows that. What I am thinking of is if I can bridge the 2 ports on my router (yeah, using a machine with 2 ports) such that it will just bypass the traffic from the router, then I will just need 2 subnets really, the private domain and the public domain as before -- and yet be able to let my machines from the private domain route out to the internet. Possible with vyatta? Thanks people! Daren Tay
