MC Serviceguard - Routing Question

[Brian DelPizzo]

I have a ServiceGuard configuration that connects out to many customers. Most of these customers have firewalls which are not controlled by my Company. Most have placed rules into their firewalls to allow traffic from my company via the IPs on both of the serviceguard nodes. Some customers have a policy or limitation that they can only list a single IP in their rule set. Any thoughts on a good way to setup routing in a cluster so that the source IP is the virtual address rather than the persistent address of the node. When we failover a handful of our customers no longer allow our connections. I can think of several ways to do this through some creative scripting and route table configs, but was hoping for something more ServiceGuard standard. -Thx

Here is a thread that discusses your problem and does provide a solution:

In my case, I always provide a list of possible ip addresses (all the potential stationary addresses) rather than doing a route command in conjunction with starting a package.

That's great... just what I was looking for. Thx
