Load balancing Servers on LAN

[Viki R]

Hi Team,

I have a query with server load balancing on pfsense version 2.4.3.

1. There are 2 servers in in the LAN network - 10.1.0.20/24 & 10.1.0.30/24
2. A VIP has been created on pfsense for the LAN network - 10.1.0.10 /24
3. The GW is 10.1.0.1/24.
4. Under "Pools" created "Servers" with the IP = 10.1.0.20/24 & 10.1.0.30/24 on Port 80.
5. Under "Virtual Servers" created with the VIP = 10.1.0.10 /24 & Protocol TCP pointing the "Servers" pool to be load balanced.
6. An Alias has been created with name "LB-Servers" holding IP 10.1.0.20/24 & 10.1.0.30/24.
7. A firewall Rule has been added under LAN network to allow traffic to Alias "LB-Servers. "

Q: When I check the status of Loadbalancer,

Pools >> Servers
10.1.0.20/24:80 (00.0%)
10.1.0.30/24:80 (00.0%)

Virtual Servers >> LB-Servers
10.1.0.10:80 10.1.0.20 Down
10.1.0.10:80 10.1.0.30 Down

However if I change the protocol on Virtual Servers from TCP to DNS then i see,

Virtual Servers >> LB-Servers
10.1.0.10:80 10.1.0.20 Active
10.1.0.10:80 10.1.0.30 Active

Pools >> Servers (This remains the same)
10.1.0.20/24:80 (00.0%)
10.1.0.30/24:80 (00.0%)

Hope this a supported configuration. Kindly share your inputs at the earliest...

Regards
Viki
