Is anyone using conntrack-tools to implement gateway failover on a network with windows clients? I set it up with ucarp and keepalived, and found that gratuitous ARP doesn't always seem to update the cache on Windows machines. It works the first time, but if a second failover happens, the client continues to send stuff to the wrong MAC address. Linux machines work fine. I've noticed similar reports from other people, but nothing that seemed like a solution. Has anyone experimented with doing MAC address takeover too? That seems like it ought to work, but I haven't tried it out because neither ucarp nor keepalived seem to implement it; and I wondered if I was missing something. What do other people do? -- ams _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
