Have the need for loadbalancing several internal systems. Systems and Clients are on the same subnet. Right now, AX is also on the same subnet.

Dont like the DSR concept. Firstly dont know how to make Appliances have VIP as localhost. Also dont like that only TCP works with DSR. want to go higher up in layers.. Http / SMTP etc.etc.

Move servers to separate network? Move AX to separate network.

Lets take one concrete example. Have TWO smtp gateways. On network

10.0.0.0/23

GW 1 is on .20
GW 2 is on .21

Clients are on .100-200

AX is on .30 for arguments sake...

Simple SMTP roundrobin on the two GWs.

Move GWs to network 10.1.0.0/23 ?

Move AX to network 10.2.0.0/23 ?

SNAT ?

How would you build it?

    I don't like DSR either. All you have to do is use SNAT when you're on a single network like that. SNAT gives you the most flexibility. If you don't want to SNAT, then carve out another 10.x network and move the particular servers you want to load balance for this app to that network and repoint their gateways. Pretty simple.

    I'll go for the SNAT solution - looks the most promising!!!
