Sendmail problem with LVS.
I am setting up 3 linux boxes using LVS direct route using one in these 3 as
a LVS-router. There is a problem with sendmail. When there is a mail comming
to sendmail. It will try to connect back to ident daemon of sender binding
with LVS IP. It will hang-up for a while because real node in the back can
not connect to remote host via dummy interface. I solved this by disable
this feature but this seems too risk. Is there anyways else to solve this
problem?
