Beginning with Windows Server 2008, the default networking has moved to the “strong host”
model as outlined in RFC 1122.
You need to use the following command line :
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "net" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostsend=enabled
Obviously first you will need to rename the specific adapters from the default of “Local Area
Network Connection 1″ to either “net” or “loopback” respectively i.e.
For Linux, HP/UX, and FreeBSD perform the following:
For Linux 2.4/2.6 Systems:
Login as root, and add this command to the bootup script:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d <farm_ip> -j DNAT —to-dest <server_ip>
For IP-based virtual hosting with multiple IPs, repeat the command for each farm IP on all
the servers. Don’t forget to add the proper farm IP to each virtual host configuration.
With IPv6 addresses, add the IPv6 address of the FARM to “lo” adaptor. Also, be sure that
the routing table has an IPv6 entry for the network and a default gateway entry for the real
interface of the server. You can check by issuing the “route —inet6” command. See
Appendix H for other IPv6 related information.
If your server requires that you have an actual IP address on an interface to bind to you can
use this method (requires arptables):
ip addr add <farm_ip> eth0 # add farm IP address on "eth0"
arptables -t filter -A IN -d <farm_ip> -j DROP # keep it from responding to ARP
