RE: service connect to itself

I am unclear on what this common problem is and am hoping someone can explain it to me.  I configured my HA set up without the use of iptables but perhaps my configuration is so simple that I didnt run into this problem.  I only have 2 servers with ldirectord running on the one but the traffic is definately load balanced. ie.. they see each other (looks very similar to chris's).  I ask this only because my configuration CANNOT go down so I want to make sure I understand any issues out there.

Subject: service connect to itself



Hi,

We have configured the Streamline Highly Availability and Load Balancing on two
linux server.
The linux-directors / real-servers need to be configured to see traffic for the
virtual IP address as local.

(real 192.168.0.1)                       (real 192.168.0.2)
(virtual 192.168.0.3)

Assume that linux ldirectord is running at 192.168.0.1 server with virtual ip
192.168.0.3 broadcasted. If we have a service running at 192.168.0.2 which
require to connect to 192.168.0.3, it will connect to itself (192.168.0.2)
since there is a loopback interace on 192.168.0.2 with ip 192.168.0.3 .

Any suggestion to our problem? Thx for your advice.

Eric
