Hi all again,
I've snowed in on the CLUSTERIP target to some extent, and I am still
figuring it out to some extent.
One question that came to mind is its use of multicast MAC addresses. Is
it really allowed to make use of them in the way that it is right now?
From RFC 1812 section 3.3.2:
------
A router MUST not believe any ARP reply that claims that the Link
Layer address of another host or router is a broadcast or multicast
address.
------
As I understand it, this is exactly what the CLUSTERIP target does?
Behaves as if a single host has a multicast address?
