I'll say that it depends if you have dynamic content or static content. In both cases you must set up failover at network level, carp, heartbeat and proper dns configuration are my elections on this topic. If your content is static, I mean, no database nor program that creates web content "on the fly", a single rsync is enough to synchronize, but if your content is dynamic, you need to sync databases and program internal status (sesion information, cookies, etc..). If you store program status in the db, less work and simpler setup. > > Finally, once the failed Soekris is brought back online, how would you > "re-sync" the two? If statitc content, just rsync, if not, synchronize db using appropiate tools (dump/restore, f.ex.) L > > Ed --- --- Eduardo Morras <emorrasg@yahoo.es>
