Hello Mike, I am not an expert in IPVS but recently i have setup IPVS with the help of Piranha and i am quite comfortable with IPVS. Please let me know your Network diagram and also the output of below mentioned command. ipvsadm -L -n ---------------------------------------- I think your network diagram should be--- Linux Director ----(One NIC)--->First Real Server (One NIC) --->Second Real Server (One NIC) ---------------------------------------------- Your Linux Director and Your real server should be on the same network segment. Please also post your Linux Director's (Where you have installed Piranha) Network cards ip information.

I have set up a test load balancer with IPVS and Piranha-GUI. For some reason, when I attempt to connect to one of the two web servers I have set-up via the load balancer's virtual IP, the load balancer does not seem to pass those requests on to the real servers. The firewall on the Piranha box is off and I can successfully establish HTTP sessions with netcat and telnet from the Piranha box as well as from my workstation. So the web services are running and connectivity to them is good. The error I'm getting in /var/log/messages is (public IP changed for privacy): Nov 2 14:28:09 omsbuild nanny[13583]: READ to 65.39.169.xxx:80 timed out Nov 2 14:28:10 omsbuild nanny[13582]: READ to <a href="http://192.168.18.29:80" target="_blank">192.168.18.29:80</a> timed out It looks like nanny can't talk to the web servers but I can't figure out why. That may not be the only problem I have here but it's probably one of them. All the other services are up and seem to be running fine. I've googled around quite a bit and checked the documentation but I haven't found anything in those places that gets me to a solution. Can anyone out there give me a little push in the right direction as to what the problem might be? Thank you!
