Hi all, I know there's many many many way to implement networking, for this reason I know that more than one answer could be OK and Right..

Mine is a question but at same time also want express same consideration about the argument, and I would like to hear some your consideration.

The bare metal question is: Better to implement networking on host's iptables or pass all to one vm who do the dirty job? (natting, port forwarding/translating, masquerading etc etc)

I think it depend for the "size" of what we are implementing, but you know, on one side if size of network have to increase, the system have to be scalable... on the other size, it's dispendious to create and manage a vm for a small need..

How is to manage network from host's iptables in a cluster?

At the moment I'm implementing my own server, It's a 2 NIC server, at the moment it will be the only node... but i won't exclude (I HOPE) it will not be the only...


Thanks for replies
