LVS-DR director connecting to itself...

[Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson]

Okay, okay, let's start from the very beginning. Scratch the diagram.

Question 1: Is it possible, with some hack, to make the director accept connections from itself? Nevermind why, I just need this, is it possible with some hack or not? If yes, how, and if no, thank you for your time.

Question 2: If it's possible with some kernel hack, is there one for 2.6 that anyone knows of? If yes, where, and if no, thank you for your time.

Question 3: Are there any alternatives to LVS that anyone knows of that might be capable of doing what I need, which is to make the LVS director access connections from itself? If yes, which, and if no, thank you for your time.

I repeat; nevermind why. Is this possible or not?

Kind regards,
Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson
