Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there was running a redundant FreeBSD configuration. I am looking to install a second server to "mirror" the first in order to have redundancy. I can figure out how to write a script for a second server to examine the first for integrity, and copy the contents of the pertinent directory structure once a day, but I was wondering how to tell the second server to start servicing requests when it realized the first was down. In both cases I would need to be paged in the event of a failure. I suppose I am looking at a software / hardware solution. If anyone has information on this topic, or knows where I can go to become more educated on this subject, please advise. Thank you, John Clark [email@john.net]
