loxilb external IP format

[shweppsie]

We are currently evaluating loxilb for our k8s cluster. So far we are impressed with the features set and improvements over metallb. However I have noticed an issue I haven't managed to workaround and I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

When I add external-dns I end up with CNAME records instead of A records because loxilb prepends the external IP field with llb-. Is there a way to disable this behavior or adjust external-dns to get the real IP?

Hello. We agree with your suggestion that we should add an option to disable this behavior.
We will add this option within this week and let you know once it’s updated.

Thank you.

Added the --noZoneName option to remove the llb- tag prefix from the external IP.
You can add it to the args of kube-loxilb as shown in the example below.

args:
        - --cidrPools=defaultPool=192.168.50.247/32
        - --setRoles=0.0.0.0
        - --setLBMode=1
        - --noZoneName

After changing the option, please delete and recreate any existing services.
