This is a dumb question. I apologize in advance. If I have 5 machines configured for carp IP balancing as 10.0.0.1
and from one of those machines I try to connect to 10.0.0.1 I would assume the machine would talk to itself only based on the routing table. But I have seen hints that lead me to believe that it will actually talk to the other carp nodes as well (as in, all traffic is loadbalanced). Is this really the case, or would each machine really only talk to itself? Thanks in advance. I hope I'm making sense on limited caffeine.
