Thanks for the various answers. I think VRRP or some dual, redundant, port NIC with the same funcionality is the answer for me. (although I can't think of one, but I know they're out there). I don't think I can convince the router people to talk OSPF with the servers (that was one good, clean way of doing it, as someone suggested) --jp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy [TECC NOPS]" <andy@tecc.co.uk> To: "Joćo Pagaime" <jpsp@fccn.pt>; <freebsd-isp@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 9:29 AM Subject: RE: Redundant NIC - preserve IP address in case of failure > VRRP maybe able to help you out, although it > was really designed to allow two nics on > different servers to share a "virtual" ip > address.
