[lvs-users] lvs NAT mode - real server to (different) virtual server public IP web requests fail

[Mehrdad Ziaei]

Hi,

I have the exact same problem.

Here is the scenario, I host two different sets of websites within the 
same webfarm cluster behind one LVS.
These two sets are isolated from each other and running on two different 
sets of real servers.

Websites from the first set need access to a web-service from the 2nd set.
I will not be able to call it locally, and can not point to one specific 
real server from
2nd set as it will defeat the high availability in case that specific 
node goes down for any reason.

Can we have both LVS-NAT  and LVS-DR configuration on the same LVS at 
the same time?
To use a live IP as VIP for clients outside of the cluster in the 
LVS-NAT configuration
and to use a private IP as VIP for clients inside the cluster in the 
LVS-DR configuration
and both use the same set of real servers?
