We have some requirements which explained here. We tried to satisfy them without any success as described. Here is the brief information:

Here are requirements: 1. High Availability 2. Load Balancing

Current Configuration: Server #1: one static (real) IP for each 10.17.243.11 Server #2: one static (real) IP for each 10.17.243.12 Cluster (virtual and shared among all servers) IP: 10.17.243.15

I tried to use CLUSTERIP to have the cluster IP by the following:

on the server #1
iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -d 10.17.243.15 -j CLUSTERIP --new --hashmode sourceip --clustermac 01:00:5E:00:00:20 --total-nodes 2 --local-node 1

on the server #2  
iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -d 10.17.243.15 -j CLUSTERIP --new --hashmode sourceip --clustermac 01:00:5E:00:00:20 --total-nodes 2 --local-node 2  

When we try to ping 10.17.243.15 there is no reply. And the web service (tomcat on port 8080) is not accessible either. However we managed to get the packets on both servers by using TCPDUMP.

Some useful information:
iptable roules (iptables -L -n -v):

TCPDUMP while pinging:

And there is no ping reply as I said. Does anyone know which part I missed?
Thanks in advance.
