View Full Version : Multiple homed network

Forum,

We are currently moving from netsaint/nagios to zabbix 1.0 (Awaiting stable release of 1.1 ;) ) and the basics are very promissing.

However, I might have overlooked it, but I miss one simple basic feature, that somehow doesn't seem to work: Dual homed network (or multiple) for sucker box.

Let me explain:

We have in our colocs public and intra networks running:

The public network is obvious; here all httpd, smtpd, etc, etc, are listening.

The intra networks are general split into two segments, completely seperate from the public network:

- One segment is used for management purpose
- One segment is used for VPN network (behind fw)

Now, we have installed a 'fat' FreeBSD box with zabbix 1.0 suckerd and a seperate mysql box (love to use oracle when available btw) which has 3 network cards:

1) eth0 - Public IP connection
2) eth1 - Intra 192.168.x.x connection
3) eth2 - Intra 10.x connection

Now the problem... suckerd only seems to 'suck' using the eth0 (Public) network. We even have added static routes, but suckerd seems to just ignore these.

Any help/sugguestions on this one?

Thanks

I would be interested in an answer as well ;) since i will run into a similar scenario (host with some nics on different networks).
However i believe, that the server process will setup a listen on the first interface it finds, which is usally eth0. so i believe it wont work - at least in version 1.1.
