Question: problem with traffic not flowing through to the backend about seesaw HOT 2 CLOSED

My first guess is that you've created a DSR blackhole - the default load balancing mode is to use DSR, however this requires that the VIP address (10.38.8.70 in this case), be configured as an IP on a dummy (non-ARP) interface on each of the backends. On most Linux systems you should be able to do something like ip addr add 10.38.8.70 dev dummy0 (you may need to insmod dummy first).

You can avoid DSR blackholes by using DSR healthchecks - add a mode: dsr to the healthcheck that you have configured, at which point I suspect the backends will be considered unhealthy (as a rule of thumb, if you have a DSR configured vserver, you should have one DSR healthcheck for exactly this reason).

Alternatively, if you don't need to use (or don't want to use DSR), you can switch to NAT mode by adding a mode: nat entry under the VServerEntry section of the protobuf.
