Failover Syntax Error

foof · Mar 22, 2007, 4:28 PM

I've setup (what I think is) a simple failover config. All IP's are static. 3-15-07 Snap.

Name Type Servers/Gateways Port Monitor
balancer gateway wan 64.56.140.1
(failover) opt1 205.200.66.7

Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway
* LAN net * * * balancer

When the balancer is set to load balancing traffic alternates between wan and opt1 like it's supposed to. Failover mode traffic goes out wan, so far so good. OPT1 goes offline, still Ok. WAN goes offline and nothing is going anywhere and an alert pops up.

php: : There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:158: syntax error pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [158]: pass in quick on $lan route-to { ( balancer ) } round-robin proto tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to any keep state label "USER_RULE"

All I'm trying to accomplish is everything goes over WAN unless it's offline then switch to OPT1. Any docs I've seen combine balancing, failover and port based routing. Nothing simple.

I believe this bug is known and Seth is working on a fix.

I believe it is fixed in all snapshots dating 21-03-2007 and later.

That would be my typical luck. I downloaded the 03/20/2007 version. :'( Oh well, at least I can confirm it's fixed and working good in the 03/22/2007 version. ;)
