My system is composed by a UDP client that sends a UDP ping message to a server spawned by a Kubernetes deployment. The server is composed by 2 replicas behind a metallb load balancer service.
The actual message routing acts as follow:
I think that, since my UDP response source IP is different from the destination IP of the original request, the service cannot map the final destination IP.
I feel I'm missing an annotation that solves my issue. Is metallb the responsible of the port mapping? Am I forced to use a UDP proxy server instead? If so can you share an already implemented solution?
