Load balancing internal network service on CARP VIP
-
Hi All,
I'm trying to load balance my internal database servers (10.10.2.1 and 10.10.2.2) with relayd on CARP VIP 10.10.0.5 (subnet /20).
If I connect to them from an external ip, with a NAT mapping to 10.10.0.5 it works like a charm. But if i try to connect to the service from the internal network / webservers (10.10.1.1-6) it times out. I can ping the CARP VIP, so routing is not the problem.
Does anybody have an idea and is this even possible in pfSense?

HI,
I am sorry to post a question to your question, but it seems like you have solved the problem i am having in this post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59670.0.html (i cant figure out how to make load balance work from external network, or internal network at all)
i might be able to help you with your problem:
i had the same problem with not being able to access my webservers on the external domain name when i was on the internal network with the client, i UNticket the following option in System -> Advanced -> Firewall / Nat -> "Disable NAT Reflection for port forwards"
This box should be unchecked, and it should solve your problem (Did for me).
I can post a screenshot of it, if my description is hard to understand (my english is not perfect) :-)Now, can you help me with my problem ?
