Do you happen to have any firewall rules in place on the LVS instance? Have you specified which IP's are allowed to access the instance?
Both of the above are what I ran into on the default RH build (even though I don't run LVS). spamd -s local5 -d -c -m10 -H -A 10.0.8.0/21 I believe without the -A and IP range the machine will only answer to localhost. This is more than likely your problem since I don't see you mentioning even playing with that. > -----Original Message----- > From: email builder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 2:43 PM > To: users@spamassassin.apache.org > Subject: Load balancing spamd > > Hi, > > I am looking for advice on how to load balance spamd servers.
