Hello, First, let me thank you for the great work that you are doing. I'm trying to set up a Mysql Cluster over AWS instances, but due to the limitations of Amazon(single ip /instance) i cannot use a virtual IP. So, i decided to setup a VPN network first so i can have all the IP that i need. I set up the VPN, all works fine regarding it. I followed the instructions in http://www.howtoforge.com/loadbalanced_mysql_cluster_debian in order to set up the cluster. I used debian lenny for the setup. The following IP addresses are used: 192.168.201.1 -load balancer 192.168.201.6 -sql1 192.168.201.10-sql2 192.168.201.100- Virtual IP On the load balacer node (only one, which is also the OpenVPN server ) i have the following: ha.cf haresources ldirectord.cf A few checks reveal: ip addr sh tun0 ipvsadm -L -n /etc/ha.d/resource.d/LVSSyncDaemonSwap master status master running (ipvs_syncmaster pid: 1474) ldirectord ldirectord.cf status ldirectord for /etc/ha.d/ldirectord.cf is running with pid: 1391 However, when i try to connect to the virtual ip i get the following What am i doing wrong? Is The fact that i'm running it over VPN? Thanks, Catalin
