I have 2 droplets with public and private IP addresses. I am trying to set up keepalived on both of them in a MASTER/BACKUP config using the private network.
I have been allocated private addresses from a /16 range for my droplets and I picked an unused one from the same range as the virtual IP, but after starting keepalived, other droplets on the same private network cannot reach the virtual IP:
ping 10.129.254.254
PING 10.129.254.254 (10.129.254.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.129.77.181 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.129.77.181 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.129.77.181 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
This works fine on VMs I have on another platform than Digital Ocean - is there something else I need to configure in DO for this to work?
Thanks! Marius
