LVS DR setup unable to connect with a windows 2003 webserver, but works fine with linux machine

[Mark van den Bosch]

I've to setup a lvs dr setup with 2 windows 2003 webservers (web edition).
It's works fine with a NAT setup, but that isn't what I want.

Now I've added a win2k3 webserver and a linux webserver (for testing). 
LVS only connects with the linux servers
and returns a webpage (so this one is working fine), but it never 
connects with the windows server.

This is how I configured the windows server:
- I added a local loopback adapter
- Configured it with the vip address (192.168.0.7) and a mask of 
255.255.255.255 (through regedit)
- The metric: 254
- Firewall off
- ICS service stopped
- Internal network address configured with ip 192.168.0.8

The loopback is only 10Mbit (don't know if this is right?) and only 
reciveice packets and is not sending.

My LVS setup:

Here is my ouput of ipvsadm -L -n:

IP Virtual Server version 1.2.0 (size=4096)
Prot LocalAddress:Port Scheduler Flags
  -> RemoteAddress:Port           Forward Weight ActiveConn InActCon
TCP  192.168.0.7:80 rr
  -> 192.168.0.3:80               Route   1      0          0
  -> 192.168.0.8:80               Route   0      0          0

It's strange that the weight on the for the linux webserver is 1 and the 
windows is 0

I've googled around and read the mini-HOWTO about adding a windows 
webserver, but this reference only to NT en win2k.
I also read this PDF file 
"http://www.loadbalancer.org/pdffiles/loadbalancersetup.pdf", but also 
didn't help.

The ldirector seems to work fine, but I've know idea what's wrong with 
the win2k3 machine.
