[lvs-users] Question about slightly odd usage of LVS / Any load balancer

This may seem odd, but is something that i'm try to figure out would work.
Basically there is an application that sits behind a loadbalancer on a
clustered server. Once that application receives a request it needs to hit
the load balancer IP in order to disburse more work across the cluster.
It looks like LVS-DR won't work as on windows you require the loopback
adapter, and it's ip would be set to the load balancer vip so it would never
go back out. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

look on the HOWTO index for "client". You're looking for the
realserver as client
