Subject: [LARTC] failover with conntrackd
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 10:47:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071010103540.GA11105@toroid.org> (raw)
Hi.
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?
