Binding FLServer to specific IP Adress on multi IP adresses

Tue Apr 06, 2004 11:21 am by shaitanro

Ok. I need some help

Here is the situation I have flserver runing behind a Cisco 3725 Router on a computer with three IP adresses:
Public IP adress: xxx.yyy.zzz.4 mask 255.255.255.240
Other IPs: 11.ttt.uuu.177 mask 255.255.255.0
10.ttt.uuu.177 mask 255.255.255.0

EVERYTHING ELSE works just fine, just flserver initiates all connections to global server from 11.ttt.uuu.177 which gets nated in some pool and IP is miss reported in server list (usually xxx.yyy.zzz+1.5).

Now how can I force flserver to initiate conections only with IP source adress xxx.yyy.zzz.4?

I have solved this issue in the past by removing the default gateway address from the NIC properties on the secondary NICs and adding a persistant route to thier respective default agteways for the nics where you removed the default gateways. Leave everything alone for the primary adapter and that should be the one that will show up in the global address list.

Another option would be to use something like the broadcom gigabit ethernet adapters that allow you to use the driver software to bind them all together and load balance across all three NICs via a single virtual IP address

Forgot to mention all IPs are set as alliases on same NIC, and there is only one Default Gateway set

OK, unless you just want to post all the info out here send me an e-mail of what you network looks like and why you have it set up that way and I wil try to come up with a fix or a cheap alternative.......you don't need to tell me exact IP addresses but at least general subnet info and again why you have it set up with 3 IP addresses. Also will need to know basic info on router.....what interfaces it has on it and what networks are plugged into it and where they go.

Nv. mind I fixed this seting the NAT access-list on the router to drop anything from the other 2 IP adresses of the server.
