We use keepalived to manage our Linux Virtual Server (LVS) load balancer. The LVS VIPs are setup to use a FWMARK as configured in iptables.

    lb_algo wrr
    lb_kind NAT
    persistence_timeout 180

            misc_path "/usr/local/sbin/check_php_wrapper.sh 10.10.35.31"
            misc_timeout 30
        }
    }

    real_server 10.10.35.32 {

        MISC_CHECK {

            misc_timeout 30
        }
    }

At the time the realservers were setup, there was a misconfigured dns for some hosts in the 10.10.35.0/24 network. Thereafter, we fixed the DNS. However, the hosts continue to show up as only their IP numbers (10.10.35.31,10.10.35.33,10.10.35.34) above.

[root@lb1 ~]# host 10.10.35.31 31.35.10.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dis1.domain.com.

OS is CentOS 6.3. Ipvsadm is ipvsadm-1.25-10.el6.x86_64. kernel is kernel-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64. Keepalived is keepalived-1.2.7-1.el6.x86_64.

How can we get ipvsadm -L to list all realservers by their proper hostnames?
