Thread-topic: is Re: Problem setting up LVS (Linux Virtual Server) in Xen Virtual
I'm seeing the same problem running the LVS load-balancer and a couple of real 
servers as virtual machines. My setup is based on Ubuntu 6.10.

However, the problem only appears when the load-balancer and the real servers 
are running on the same physical machine (dom0). When migrating the 
load-balancer live to another physical computer on the same subnet, the network 
traffic all of a sudden starts to work! This leads me to believe there is a 
problem with the bridge in dom0. There are some indications on this in the 
document http://en.opensuse.org/Xen3_and_a_Virtual_Network which discusses 
moving the bridge/router to a virtual machine.

I'm not a bridge expert and do not understand why the brouter setup in the 
document above would be necessary. Is there some way to make our setup with the 
bridge in dom0 work?

Hi all,


I'm trying to setup 3 virtual machines, 1 with LVS (Linux Virtual Server) 
load-balancing and 2 with Tomcat+Axis (webserver and stuff). 


I'm using openSUSE 10.1 (xen 3.0.2) in all VMs and Dom0. rcSuseFirewall is 
stopped, iptables -l report everything "accept"'ing. 

Here's my IP configuration:
http://pwp.netcabo.pt/pformoso/network.gif

You can see there are 3VMs running.


In the LB virtual machine I configure Linux Virtual Server (ipvsadm):
ipvsadm -A -t 192.168.200.180:8080 -s rr
ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.200.180:8080 -r 192.168.200.185:8080 -m
ipvsadm -a -t 192.168.200.180:8080 -r 192.168.200.190:8080 -m

I also set ip_forward:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward


Then, in dom0 I try my LVS:
lynx http://192.168.200.180:8080
but I only get "making http connection to xxxx..."


Tomcat logs in both VMs don't report the connection.
TCP sniffer in VM10/20 reports:

Any ideas why this doesn't work? How should I do it? Any tutorial/howto help is 
appreciated. 


Thanks in advance,
--cifroes
