Search Again: Re: Load balance not working! Another thought/question... From: Men & Mice Support Date: Monday, October 1, 2001 Time: 10:48:52 am Very interesting. I'm currently seeing about 50% of traffic going to each web server, from each DNS server. The reason I asked about the NAT setup was, most NAT servers have a problem that would affect this. It seems like yours doesn't, or at least it doesn't currently. Normally, QuickDNS Load Balancer opens a connection to each web server on port 80. However, if both QuickDNS and the web server are behind the same NAT server, with most NAT servers, Load Balancer won't be able to connect to the web server. This is because Load Balancer, in the setup you describe below, would be trying to connect to 64.19.34.128, not 192.168.1.101. However, it seems to be working now. Either your NAT server doesn't have this problem or you've worked around it. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 12:09 PM -0500 10/1/01, <listaccount@starionline.com> wrote: >I'm not sure what info about the NAT that you want but here's what I know: > >External IP of 64.19.34.128 is mapped to an address on our internal network >192.168.1.101 which is the DNS and WebStar Backup iMac. > >Firewall is set to pass port 53 TCP/UDP and port 80. > >Backup web server can be reached by IP above with no problem.
