LocalDirector real servers cannot browse to a virtual server

[greg.sander]

I am unable to browse to a virtual server from a real server. Any other computer on the network can browse to the virtual server. The LocalDirector and all real servers being balanced by it are plugged into a vlan that seperates them from the rest of the network. Any computer that is plugged into the vlan (that makes it one of the real servers) cannot browse to a website hosted by a virtual server on LocalDirector. The same computers can browse to a website hosted by another real server. I do that by using a host entry to go directly to the real server - bypassing LocalDirector. Can someone tell me how to allow browsing from a real server to a virtual server?

This is due to the LocalDirector's need to bridge traffic to function properly.

Since your real servers are on the same broadcast domain, traffic destined for a virtual ultimately needs to hit the same network that originated the request. I don't think the LD will bridge traffic in this way.

With the CSS, you can get around this using NAT, but I don't think the LD supports that particular feature.

Would a change from directed to dispatched mode make a difference ?

I looked into what we need here a little more. Not all sites need to see each other. I am going to try to seperate the sites that need to see each other by putting them into seperate VLANs.
