Communication from one pool member to another
So, in normal circumstances, I wouldn't want my pool members communicating with each other. However, I am trying to load balance syslog. Yes, I know this sounds crazy. But bear with me.
I suspected I might be losing syslog events, so I wanted to rule out the load balancer as a potential bottleneck. I have a stateless virtual server, stateless UDP profile, two pool members. For diagnostic purposes, I am generating a finite number of syslog messages from each of my pool members and sending them at the virtual server in front of them. I noticed an interesting trend. Only about half of the packets arrive. If my first pool member sends the packets, only it receives packets via the virtual server. Same goes for the second pool member. I am not using any source address translation.
Any thoughts?
