Hi! I'm running 2.4.18-14 in a heavy network environment. The machine itself is a dual CPU P3 (though I've seen the same thing on other platforms with different kernels). The kernel itself is patched with the hidden arp patches and is running a proprietary IP load balancing module (from www.ipmetrics.com ). I've seen several times where the routing table has become corrupted in such a way so all connections to 10.0.0.0 go to the loopback. The output of ip route ls table all is: local 10.0.18.230 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 10.0.18.230 broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 local 10.48.0.3 dev eth1 table local proto kernel scope host src 10.48.0.3 local 10.0.18.210 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 10.0.18.210 local 10.16.0.3 dev eth0 table local proto kernel scope host src 10.16.0.3 local 10.0.18.220 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 10.0.18.220 local 10.0.18.12 dev eth3 table local proto kernel scope host src 10.0.18.12 broadcast 127.0.0.0 dev lo table local proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1 local 127.0.0.1 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 local 10.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 10.0.18.210 ^^^^^^^^^^^ local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1 As you can see, the second to last line is a route table entry that routes everything to 10.0.0.0/8 to the loopback addr. 10.0.18.210 is an IP alias configured on the loopback interface, for use with the hidden arp patch. Has anyone ever encountered such a situtation, or does anyone have any hints how we can solve this? Thanks!
