Yes, but there are differences between versions.
- Zeus Load Balancer 1.5:
-
When the flipper brings up traffic IP addresses as virtual interfaces it will spread out the addresses between all network cards that already have an address on the relevant network.
- Zeus Load Balancer versions before 1.5:
-
The flipper will bring each traffic IP address up on the first interface it finds that already has an IP address on the relevant network, but if your traffic IP addresses are on different networks, then they will be brought up on different network cards.
As an example, consider the following situation:
- One of my front-end machines has four network cards:
- # use a pre tag here for formatting - don't indent
eth0: 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0eth1: 131.111.193.1 netmask 255.255.0.0eth2: 131.111.193.2 netmask 255.255.0.0eth3: 131.112.193.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
- And I want to bring up three traffic IP addresses:
-
131.111.193.4
131.111.193.5
131.112.193.2
- in Load Balancer 1.5:
-
131.111.193.4 comes up on eth1
131.111.193.5 comes up on eth2
131.112.193.2 comes up on eth3
- but in Load Balancer 1.4:
-
131.111.193.4 comes up on eth1
131.111.193.5 comes up on eth1
131.112.193.2 comes up on eth3
