      Hi,

      I've got a cluster with v2.
      Is it normal that when i do a "traceroute 8.8.8.8", the first routes are the master address and not the virtual address :

      1  192.168.3.6 (192.168.3.6)  2.116 ms  2.180 ms  2.315 ms
      2  x.x.x.25 (x.x.x.25)  3.252 ms  3.462 ms  3.733 ms
      *
      *

      192.168.3.6 is the lan of master address
      x.x.x.25 is the wan of master address

      192.168.3.1 and x.x.x.1  are its virtual addresses.
      The output of traceroute should be

      1  192.168.3.1 (192.168.3.1)  2.116 ms  2.180 ms  2.315 ms
      2  x.x.x.1 (x.x.x.1)  3.252 ms  3.462 ms  3.733 ms
      *
      *

      Am i wrong ?

      Peace.

        It's normal to see the router's real IP in traceroute rather than a CARP VIP.
