I have searched the previous posts and have not found a solution to the problem that I am facing.
The short problem is that I need a way to turn off arping for the lo interface in the 2.4.0 kernel.
In the 2.2 kernel, I could do the following: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/hidden echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/hidden
The 2.4 kernel does not have these sysctl files any more. Why was this functionality taken out? or was it simply moved to another place in the proc filesystem? How can I accomplish the same thing I was doing in the 2.2 kernel in the 2.4 kernel?
Now for the long version of the problem. I am using the TurboLinux ClusterServer 6.0 product. This product uses what they refer to as an advanced traffic manager that has the ip address of the web site aliased to eth0. Thus this machine arps for the ip address and when it gets the http requests, it passes those requests to the nodes which have the same ip addressed aliased to their lo interface with arping turned off.
TurboLinux is not helping me with the 2.4 kernel. I imagine it is because they know nothing about it and were not planning ahead by following the development of the 2.3 kernel, so I thought I would ask the guys who really know what is going on.
I know that you are all very busy, but any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated.
