Hey Everyone,
So at home I have 2 ESXi boxes. Well first lets do our best to explain my network.
Dell 48 Port Switch
3 VLANs
Internal, DMZ, Wireless Bridge
Server 1
HP DL385 G2 ESXi 5, 6 NICs (1 Internal, 1 WAN, 1 DMZ, 1 Wireless Bridge, 1, HA) 4 Virtual Switches, Internal, WAN, DMZ, Wireless Bridge, HA
Astaro Primary
5 NICs (Internal, WAN, DMZ, Wireless Bridge, HA)
Several VMs on Internal
1 VM on DMZ
Server 2
HP DL385G2 ESXi 5, 6 NICs (1 Internal, 1 WAN, 1 DMZ, 1 Wireless Bridge, 1, HA) 4 Virtual Switches, Internal, WAN, DMZ, Wireless Bridge, HA
Astaro Secondary
5 NICs (Internal, WAN, DMZ, Wireless Bridge, HA)
2 VMs on Internal
2 VMs on DMZ
The HA is linked directly over a crossover cable between the two servers.
So here is the problem. The servers on the DMZ on Server 2 cannot be reached. No matter what changes I make to my config I cannot reach these servers. Well I can if I log into the DMZ server on Server 1 I can reach the other DMZ servers. I cannot however reach them from outside/inside directly. If I shut down my secondary HA node. Then everything works just as it is designed. But as long as that secondary is up then nothing works.
I am open to all suggestions here. One idea I thought to try out was to put the secondary HA node on its own direct internal LAN link. Where it gets its own virtual switch, the last available NIC on the server and link to the switch. I don't see why that would be necessary but at this point I'm willing to try anything to get this working 100%. Thank you all in advance for your help with this.
