Hello everybody! I kindly ask somebody to help me with this problem. I'm trying to configure Dovecot proxy with Director. On the same machine is KeepAlived that needs this configured to bind non local IP: sysctl net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1
But as already mentioned in this email: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-November/087033.html Dovecot Director needs sysctl net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=0 (if this is set, everything works ok, but we break keepalived) because otherwise the second server uses IP from the first server as "self".
Is it possible to configure this some other way, so Dovecot Director doesn't try to bind to all IPs and because of above configuration, uses the first one that binds.
This is the result from director status on server 1: root@u1:~# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed status 172.16.100.191 9090 self never handshaking 172.16.100.192 9090 never handshaking
and server 2: root@u2:/var/log# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed status 172.16.100.191 9090 self never handshaking 172.16.100.192 9090 never
