Linux/LVS and NLDAP/NetWare

Hello all,

We've gotten LDAP and LDAPS ports/services working and
responding running on a NetWare server in the private
side of a Linux Piranha/LVS host.   So people make
LDAP requests to cname PIRANHA-LDAP and Piranha/LVS
does the NAT routing and LDAP requests get services
just fine.

Now the current NetWare server running NLDAP has two
network cards, one on X.X.X.X and the other on
Y.Y.Y.Y.
where Y.Y.Y.Y is the private network.   The
Piranha/LVS host is on Z.Z.Z.Z and Y.Y.Y.Y where Z is
the public and Y is the private side.  

The only way to get the NAT routing to work is to have
the default gateway on the NetWare box be Y.Y.Y.A 
(ie. the NAT router address of the Piranha/LVS host)
WHICH IS FINE to make LDAP respond, however it breaks
the ability to do various Novell services such as
RCONSOLE and WEB-PORTAL.  If we add a STATIC ROUTE on
the NetWare server to other network segments it breaks
the ability to get LDAP requests services through
Piranha/LVS host.

Now we have tested using Piranha/LVS to service all of
the various NetWare ports/services and that in fact
worked FINE except for web-portal which is hardcoded
in java to return the main ip address of the ldap
server, 
but all else worked. Our reason for limiting
Piranha/LVS to JUST the LDAP ports was to simplify
management over all, and make web-portal work again.

Has anyone used a NetWare NLDAP service behind Piranha
and gotten ALL OF IT to work right, with two NICs in
the LDAP server as I've talked about?

Thanks
Peter
