Load balancer Virtual IP on OPT1

ask · Aug 4, 2008, 11:33 PM

Hi,

We're planning a setup where:

LAN = em0 (our 10. network)
WAN = em1 (a /29 for our routers and the routers of our upstream)
OPT1 = em2 (a /25 for our public IPs)
OPT2 = em3 (for carp + config sync).

Will it be a problem to setup the load balancer feature with virtual IPs from the OPT1 network? Our "wan" network will only have enough IPs for the routers (2x carp + 1 real IP on each side).

Hmn - no go.

In the logs it reports success for the servers in the pool, but requests to port 80 on the Virtual Server IP are timing out (1.2.1 snapshot from Aug 12). It seems to do that no matter which network I take the IP for the Virtual Server from. Yes, I did open a firewall rule on WAN for the VS IP.
