Hi,

just noticed (by sniffing on the net) that ping (ICMP echo requests)
packets from within a vserver get the ip source address of the
master host. This is rather confusing when dealing with ip based
access rules on routers and switches. Adapting these access rules
makes the roaming of vservers more difficult because you cannot
transparently move the vserver from one master server to another.

Why does this occur? I guess that this is done intentionally?

My Kernel/Patch-Version is 2.4.26-vs1.27.

Thanks, Thomas
