Hey folks, for production use quality it is recommended to have backend (storage) and front end seperated. Let' assume: - 85.0.0.0/24 public IP block - 10.100.0.0/24 private IPs for DC internal usage - 10.200.0.0/24 private IPs for storage only LAN and running, as per recommendation 3 nodes: - node01: - fqdn: node01.dc-example.com - fqdn storage: node02.storage.example.com - no public IP - 10.100.0.1 primary IP - 10.200.0.1 storage IP - node02: - fqdn: node02.dc-example.com - fqdn storage: node02.storage.example.com - no public IP - 10.100.0.2 primary IP - 10.200.0.2 storage IP - node03: - fqdn: node03.dc-example.com - fqdn storage: node02.storage.example.com - no public IP - 10.100.0.3 primary IP - 10.200.0.3 storage IP The storage network is its own physical network with 10gig that only connects those three servers. How can I specify which IP to use for storage, which for frontend traffic? I am assuming this as the controller and all admins should be able to reach the nodes via frontend, which is not the storage one. Okay, I am lost. Whats the real solution here? Or is "frontend" no-ip, just VM traffic and "backend" is the 10gig storage "Only" where all the FQDN reside?
