Hello,
I'm playing with virtual servers that load balance https servers and running under FortiOS 7.2.3.
I configured an internal virtual server like this:
VIP_LB_INT --- HTTPS checks --- Real servers
Internal people access the VIP directly from the LAN and everything is working smoothly.
The need changed. I need to give external people access to this load balancer.
So now I have configued a static NAT from one of my public IP to my VIP_LB_INT IP.
Unfortunately this is not working and I don't know why it couldn't work.
I tried to diagnose and I can see that the Fortigate send an ARP request on my VIP_LB_INT interface, asking who is VIP_LB_INT. Of course, no one is answering because this is itself.
why it does even try. the fortigate is not aware of his own virtual IP ?
From Outside:
6.290750 PORT1 in 178.****.51856 -> 80.*.*.*.443: syn 3730813839
6.290769 INTERNAL out arp who-has 172.28.26.90 tell 172.28.27.100
6.290769 LAGG0 out arp who-has 172.28.26.90 tell 172.28.27.100
6.290770 x2 out arp who-has 172.28.26.90 tell 172.28.27.100
From inside:
445.345921 INTERNAL in arp who-has 172.28.26.90 tell 172.28.26.83
445.345925 INTERNAL out arp reply 172.28.26.90 is-at 0:9:f:9:0:12
445.345926 LAGG0 out arp reply 172.28.26.90 is-at 0:9:f:9:0:12
445.345926 x2 out arp reply 172.28.26.90 is-at 0:9:f:9:0:12
445.346031 INTERNAL in 172.28.26.83.53126 -> 172.28.26.90.443: syn 3757113778
Legend:
PORT1 is my WAN
INTERNAL my LAN
LAGG0 my aggregate
x2 one member of my aggregate
Is it possible to do what i'm trying to do or do i simply need to create a second virtual server for my outside access ?
Thanks

Hello RDM,
Waiting an answer, I found this KB article:
https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Configure-virtual-server/ta-p/194457
Is that giving any help?
Regards,
Unfortunately no.
I know how to configure a virtual server. But I need my virtual server to be available internally and externally.
Do I need to create two different virtual server or can I create only one (the one internally) and then do a static nat to the internal one (if so how as I can figure a way to make it works) ?
Best
RDM
Hello RDM,
Oh ok!
We will then continue to work on it!
Regards,
maybe the answer is: this is not possible and I need to create two different object for the same "role".
however I just looking for some feedback and be sure it cannot work like this.
Sure!
Makes sense to me.
Regards,
I guess I will end by creating multiple LB...
It could be so simple to have one Internal LB and then a vip to forward port to it, instead of having two different object that make the same thing.
