Re: 3 Server solution

Thank you so very much David for pointing me to the correct documentation. I
followed it on the server that is going to be Linux Director / Real Server.
On setting up the loop back interface to the virtual IP address as suggested
in the documentation

http://www.ultramonkey.org/3/topologies/sl-ha-lb-eg.html

"*Configure Loopback Interface*"

DEVICE=lo:0
IPADDR=xx.xxx.xx.47
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
NETWORK=xx.xxx.xx.0
BROADCAST=xx.xxx.xx.127
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback



I ended up loosing connection to the server, and had to get the loop back
setting disabled for the moment to be able to connect to it, any ideas why
that happened and what I might be doing wrong ?

Please note I did not revert back any settings listed in the documentation
here

http://www.ultramonkey.org/3/topologies/ha-lb-eg.html

Which I did earlier for this server.

Thank you so very much,

Imran.
