RE: Piranha on same subnet

Hello Sebastien,

Thank you very much for your reply.  It was very informative.  I would very
much like to see an example of your current piranha config.  Now that I know
it will do what I require I will keep playing till I get it up and running.
Being told that it does do the job means I know won't be wasting my time by
experimenting.

Thank you

David

David,

Welcome to LVS + Piranha :)

Sure it will ! Use direct routing and read thoroughly the LVS how-to on
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/

This is NAT with 2 NICs. You still can go for NAT with 1 NIC, which is a
bit harder and not really worth it.

You should really try direct routing. If you need more help, I'll send
you my current piranha config (+explanations).
