[lvs-users] One realserver must connect to services to other realservers (routing problem).

[Markus Hofer]

Hello Léon,

>>/  REALSERVER (A)            REALSERVER (B)/
>/>  (192.168.0.10)            (192.168.0.10)/


Yes i have made a typo. Correct is:

          Loadbalancer (LVS) (IP 192.168.200.15)
         ^                              |
         |                              |
         |                              |
         |                              |
         |                              V

REALSERVER (A)            REALSERVER (B)
(192.168.0.10)            (192.168.0.20)

The problem is that we have a lot of different services and DNS-Names
in our REALSERVERs. We have more than 10 Realservers and more than 50 different
DNS-Names (VIP:service) (with different VIP-IPs) on that.

For example:
Realserver A must go to meteo.example.com (192.168.200.15) (VIP: service), which then redirects it
to the realserver B, but i do not receive on realserver A answer from realserver B.
I go from outside the realserver-range it isn't a problem.
Alredey my trick is to insert a different DNS entry in the hostfile of realserver A for meteo.example.com (192.168.0.20)
and then i haven't problems.
My problem is that for me isn't easy to insert for all our services on every realserver hostfile a diffent DNS-entry.
Exist not some ohter way to work around for this problem, like

------
If the realserver go outside for services i have insert a SNAT on
POSTROUTING on the LVS.
Like:

Insert PREROUTING something??

Thanks in advance!
