did you check the log's? cz is verry strange.

Is it really likely would you want to set PPTP up on the IP of the machine, and not the VIP?

I'm sure in pretty much every case if you set it up on a clustered machine its going to be on the VIP, or else you loose access when the machines failover.

Sorry, loadbalancing won't work on bridges.

ok, i upgraded to RC 5 2008-Feb-06 10:18:01 build

it seems to work but i am going to let it run for two days.  If it works after the two days this problem is resolved

so see u in 2 days…

@GruensFroeschli:

Read the first post:
This IS a step by step.

If you dont understand how to do it you most probably shouldnt try.

Do you see the changement about the emails somewhere ? ;)

No at the moment.  It's on our list.

Ah you want to use CARP with failover in the sense of failover from one router to the other.
I though failover in the sense of dualWAN failover.

I'm not sure how and if that works.
I would just try to setup CARP for the 1:1 NAT VIP like you would for a normal failover interface.

Hmn, I thought it was only when I had CARP on a VLAN interface, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

It still crashes just after

"Waiting for final CARP interface bringup…....................... done."

with a basic carp setup.

(I'm trying to migrate from a NanoBSD based 6.2 setup -- I didn't have any trouble with this there...)

Sounds like you are running CARP and dual WAN. If you put in a firewall rule on the LAN that redirects all traffic to a particular gateway/pool, then traffic destined for CARP address will also get sent to the gateway/pool. I work around this by adding another rule to allow the local subnet using the default gateway. Something like:
LAN firewall rules:
Allow * src=lan net * dest=lan net * *
Allow * src=lan net * * * gateway=load balancer

Thanks for the quick reply!

I've now set up a set of rules along the lines of:

Interface: LAN
External Address: yyy.yyy.yyy.120
External Port: 80
NAT IP: 192.xxx.xxx.120

This works just right!!!

Thanks for your help!

If you want to failover policy routed items you need to create multiple failover pools, this has been discussed previously, so if you need details please search.

Ratios can be configured by creating a lb pool with multiple entries for the same line, ie-
dsl
cable
cable
cable

Then it should round robin between the four entries, Hitting the cable 75% of the time. Not that I've setup pools that way, usually having roughly equal connections…

Unfortunately I'm using the 1394 int. for the CARP sync. I thought it was stable…

I manualy added the vlans to a fresh install. Then I synced the rule set and the aliases.  and it worked.

Seames very odd.  I am going to try adding vlans to the fresh installed box and see if I have a failure there .
