2 Separate Networks Load Balancing and firewall Problems
-
Hi everyone,
I'm stalled on this problem since a couple weeks. I wonder if you guys could help me. Here's my setup and I want to do :
I've got 2 separate networks in 2 different buildings (one's our principal site, and the other one a DR datacenter, which contains backup web servers in case the primary site is down). Both are connected with a 1gbps dedicated link between 2 firewalls (PF Sense). I want to use the load balancing feature of PFSense, so if our main web server dies, it could fall back to the DR site. Right now, we have 2 ISP's (one in each building). I want to be able to access one of my web servers located in our primary site from an external IP on our DR site. Right now, I can see a connection to my main website (primary site) from an external IP located on my DR site, but it can't reply an answer. This server has full access to both sites.
Can you guys see something I did wrong?
Of course, the NAT has been done so my DR firewall forwards all request to my primary webserver. He's able to contact him, but the primary webserver can't reply. Here's an example of my routing IP's :
192.168.1.X –> DMZ Primary Site
192.168.100.X --> Dedicated Link between both FW's
192.168.2.X --> DMZ DR SiteRouting is if you want to contact the DR Site, the FW forwards it to 192.168.100.X, and vice versa.
Thanks in advance!
