<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
We've been running ServerIronXL hardware for a few years and I've just purchased some new chassis based replacements with WSM modules.<BR>
<BR>
I've been porting our existing load balanced services over to the new boxes and have come across a funny.<BR>
<BR>
I provide a server load balanced DNS service via our foundry kit. and have 3 "remote" servers defined and bound to a VIP. I've configured the serveriron to perform a zone health check and on each of the 3 servers I can see the health check coming in. The same real servers are also used by our XL boxes in the interim.<BR>
<BR>
What I've found is that weven though the serveriron thinks all 3 servers are active, when it tries to use the last one in the group of remote servers the query never reaches the server. a sh server real doesn't show any connections to the server. From the users point of view the query never resolves. If i take down the dns server on the remote server so that the serveriron health check fails, it succesfully uses the other two servers and everything is o.k.<BR>
<BR>
I've switched off iptables on my real(remote) servers but it doesn't make any difference. As far as i can see all my servers are identical. I have the same setup on another serverion on our west campus with anoter 3 servers and it does the same thing.<BR>
<BR>
Anyone else seen this?<BR>
<BR>
TIA<BR>
