From 6bd8fedaa16da1e24f38712ee759950d8c5f4f09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lon Hohberger Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:51:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dlm: bind connections from known local address when using TCP A common problem occurs when multiple IP addresses within the same subnet are assigned to the same NIC. If we make a connection attempt to another address on the same subnet as one of those addresses, the connection attempt will not necessarily be routed from the address we want. In the case of the DLM, the other nodes will quickly drop the connection attempt, causing problems. This patch makes the DLM bind to the local address it acquired from the cluster manager when using TCP prior to making a connection, obviating the need for administrators to "fix" their systems or use clever routing tricks.
