We have a load balancer application which routes packets on the local subnet
by changing the ethernet MAC header. It works well for ipv4 and all ipv6
machines except our 2003 telnet server.
To configure machines to work with this load balancer, you add the
external-cluster ip to the loopback on the machine so that it will receive
the packet. We have added our ipv6 address to the MS loopback adapter via
netsh and ipconfig /all shows the address on the loopback. We have
stopped/restarted telnet as well as rebooted the machine. We run an ip trace
tool on the server and we see that packets are sent to the machine (the ip is
to external-cluster ip and MAC is for this machine's MAC) but the telnet
server does not respond. netstat -an shows that telnet is listening on[::]:23
Is there are different way to get IPV6 packets destined to an address on
loopback received? Is there any error reporting that would help us determine
why the telnet server is not responding ?
