The pulse code leaves the determination of netmask and broadcast information up to the ifconfig program, which almost always uses the wrong values unless the network in question is a natural Class C network. For anyone using Class A or Class B network address ranges subnetted into smaller networks, ifconfig always uses the appropriate classes natural netmask and determines the broadcast from a combination of the IP address/netmask. This results in netmasks of 255.0.0.0 for a class A network and 255.255.0.0 for a class B network, and broadcasts of X.255.255.255 and X.Y.255.255 respectively. What is needed is a mechanism for setting the netmask within lvs.cf so that the netmask and broadcast can be determined and subsequently passed as arguments to ifconfig.

This is being worked on. You will be able to specify a network bas on all virtual IP addresses, the net router, and the real server.
