[Linux-cluster] Regd: Issue in Source NAT Rule for Cluster Suite Floating IP

[Balaji]

Dear All,

 I am using the following rules in firewall scripts

       /sbin/iptables -F INPUT
       /sbin/iptables -F OUTPUT
       /sbin/iptables -F FORWARD
       /sbin/iptables -F RH-Firewall-1-INPUT

       # Default Rule
       /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
       /sbin/iptables -P INPUT  ACCEPT
       /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

Rsync Source NAT rules is
       iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.13.179 --dport 
873 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.13.83:873

192.168.13.83  is floating ipaddress 
 192.168.13.179 is primary ipaddress 
192.168.13.110  is  secondary ipaddress

I am taking backup from my client pc via rsync  and i am configured 
floating ipaddress at my client pc and the following rules is working fine .

But the problem is at every rsync trigger we will restart the iptables 
and firewall scripts, then only it will works
If the services are not restart then it will send the following error 
message
"rsync: failed to connect to 192.168.13.100: Connection timed out (110)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(94)"

I need to solve the following "iptables and firewall restart" issue.
Can some one throw light on this.

Regards
