However, traffic meant +to flow between the LAN subnets will be sent to eth0 and eth1 as well. +To prevent this, another rule is required. This rule excludes traffic +between the local subnets from the load balancer. It also excludes +locally-sources packets (required for web caching with load balancing). +eth+ is used as an alias that refers to all ethernet interfaces: + +.. code-block:: none + + set load-balancing wan rule 5 exclude + set load-balancing wan rule 5 inbound-interface eth+ + set load-balancing wan rule 5 destination address 10.0.0.0/8 |
