Hi *,
I'm setting up a http load balancer group with OpenBSD. First of all, great
work regarding pf + carp + relayd. That's a straight forward setup. Me
like! :-)
But now on topic. I'm getting a bit of a headache with my final setup.
It'll be:
2 nic's (bge0, bge1)
trunk those two nic's for failover
throw the box into 2 vlan's, one being the one where traffic comes in, the
other being the one traffic goes out to the later-to-be-loadbalanced
servers.
Yes, this IBM blade has just 2 physical nics and I know it would be easier
if I had 4 physical nics.
Right now, I configured the box like that:
# cat /etc/hostname.bge0
up
# cat /etc/hostname.bge1
up
# cat /etc/hostname.trunk0
trunkproto failover trunkport bge0 trunkport bge1 up
# cat /etc/hostname.trunk1
trunkproto failover trunkport bge0 trunkport bge1 up
# cat /etc/hostname.vlan24
inet 10.46.24.101 255.255.255.0 10.46.24.255 vlan 24 vlandev trunk0
# cat /etc/hostname.vlan25
inet 10.46.25.101 255.255.255.0 10.46.25.255 vlan 25 vlandev trunk1
But after boot, it really looks like that is wrong -- ifconfig output:

I noticed trunk1 isn't lucky. And I'm just plain puzzled how a correct
configuration should look like.
Help is really appreciated. Maybe it's just the heat today that makes my
brain hurt. Dunno.
Thanks in advance,
Marian
PS.: Please hit reply-all, I'm not subscribed right now.
PPS.: introduction said, it'll be a http load balancer group, so after I
get this trunk + vlan madness right, I'll dive into carp + pfsync on top of
that. Uuhhh :)
