Hi All,
I would like to find out what are the proper steps into configuring the Astaro v7.505 to do server load balancing. Let me assume the following:
1. Astaro will act as a firewall between the public IP address ranges and the private IP address ranged. For example, eth0 connected to the WAN router (say, 202.1.1.2/28, def. gw 202.1.1.1). eth2 is connect to DMZ with an IP of 10.168.0.1/24. The servers we want to load balance is in the DMZ so we don't look at the LAN (which is on eth1)
2. On the DMZ, we have two servers, 10.168.0.10 and 10.168.0.11 (def. gw 10.168.0.1).
3. The servers will be hosting a HTTP service, accessible by everyone if they surf to http://202.1.1.3.
My assumed deployment steps would be as follows:
1. Create two equal web servers on 10.168.0.10 and 10.168.0.11.
2. Under Network > Interface > Additional Addresses, create an additional IP on 202.1.1.3 on the External Interface.
2. Under Network Security > Server Load Balancing, create a New load balancing rule where:
Service: TCP80
Virtual Server: 202.1.1.3
Real Servers: 10.168.0.10, 10.168.0.11
Check type: TCP
Check interval: 10
Automatic packet filter rules: CHECKED.
In this scenario it works.
Some questions in terms of flexibility in deployment:
1. If my Astaro WAN Interface is changed to 202.1.1.2/29, DMZ Interface to 202.1.1.9/29, additional static route on WAN Router added as follows (ip route 202.1.1.8/29 202.1.1.2) and I want everyone to access my web server as http://202.1.1.10 (real web servers would be on 202.1.1.11 and 202.1.1.12). What would be the configuration?
2. Rather than using HTTP, I would like to use HTTPS. Can I put a HTTPS certificate on the Astaro? I don't see this in the v7.505 WebAdmin. How do I go ahead with this?
