RFC1918 addreeses are not routable. there's no problem for carp peers to ping each other, I just cannot ping both of them from Internet (where nagios is located)
the problem is to specify each peer's address in nagios config, I do not want to depend on 10.0.0.2 for cluster1 peer and so on. especially from preemption point of view. I want to keep things simple. 1) there's another carp cluster at x.y.z.t 2) either it is running in preemption mode or not, I connect to carp master from Internet 3) there should be alive carp backup (at some rfc1918 address, which I do not want to specifi in nagios) 4) if backup is unreacheble, we are in trouble 2012/1/13 Simon Perreault <simon.perrea...@viagenie.ca> > On 01/12/2012 01:49 PM, iLXQ {IPICIN wrote: > >> most of our carp clusters run on single address. no spare IP space. >> > > That's the root of the problem. > > Use IPv6 for the non-carp addresses?
