Load balanced environment

Post by scott.hovey »

Is anyone using a search appliance in a load balanced environment against a virtual IP? We keep getting a 006 /usr/local/morph3/texis/scripts/dowalk(doprimer) 262: Timeout sending data to www.example.com:80 in the function htbuf_flushnbl error but any site outside the domain seems to work.

Sounds like a dns, and/or nat issue. If the the server is nat'd or otherwise has different IP's for usage from the inside or outside and the appliance is on the same local net as the server being indexed but is using "outside" dns it will be trying to access the outside ip without the benefit of nat and will not be able to reach it. If that's the case the appliance should be configured to use "inside" dns servers that give the proper ip for the internal sites. Or you could teach the appliance the ip's of the internal servers by making hosts entries from Maintenance->Webmin Interface->Network Configuration->Host Addresses
