[lvs-users] Trying to configure load balancing with keepalived. It is working as expected but only accepts traffic locally from the load balancer
I'm trying to get basic load balancing working with keepalived. It seems to be working but I can only connect to the virtual_server IP from the load balancer itself. If I try to make requests from other servers on our network they time out. Here is our config:

global_defs {
notification_email {
person@domain.com<mailto:person@domain.com>
}
notification_email_from lb_cluster1@plansource.com<mailto:lb_cluster1@plansource.com>
smtp_server 10.140.0.140
smtp_connect_timeout 30
}

vrrp_instance VI_1 {
state MASTER
interface eth0
virtual_router_id 51
priority 101
smtp_alert
virtual_ipaddress {
10.110.7.159
}
}

virtual_server 10.110.7.159 80 {
delay_loop 10
protocol TCP
lb_algo rr
lb_kind NAT
persistence_timeout 7200

real_server 10.110.7.51 80 {
weight 1
TCP_CHECK {
connect_timeout 5
connect_port 80
}
}
real_server 10.110.7.52 80 {
weight 1
TCP_CHECK {
connect_timeout 5
connect_port 80
}
}
}

output from ipvsadm:

ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN

curl from the localhost:

curl 10.110.7.159
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>

>From any other server or host on our network (same subnet or not) it times out.

I did notice that most other examples for keepalived and lb_kind NAT are using 2 different subnets but we'd like to avoid that if possible. It's also possible that it's required but I'm not totally sure how or why.
