I have used OVH's dedicated servers in the past. Recently I ordered an online.net dedi, and installed Proxmox 2.3 on it, upgraded to Proxmox 3.
I ordered an IPv4 failover for using an openvz container. I added the IPv4 to the server via online.net's panel, created a new container in Proxmox added the IP in "routed mode", and started the container. Now in OVH, that was all that was needed to connect to the container. However I noticed that the new IP was not pingable.
I then added the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
#Failover configuration
auto dummy0
iface dummy0 inet static
address 6.6.6.6
netmask 255.255.255.255
where 6.6.6.6 is my failover IP.
The IP became pingable, however, instead of connecting to the container, the failover IP connects to the main server. How does one configure it to get the failover IP to connect to the container?
