Hello all,I'm building a mail Server with Q-mail.
The Server is composed of two machines load-balanced
with either Balance or
Dns Round Robin tecnique.
I know that the two machines can share the same disk
array mounted
via NFS where I'll put the users Maildirs using
vpopmail virtual domain.
The two machines so can share the array at the same
time.
I also know that NFS works as client-server
configuration,
so the array must be the "server" side and the two
mailservers
should be the clients (Is right?).
The problem is, since the Array is just attached at
the machines with a
SCSI controller, so is not a pc where i can install
any operating
system, how can be mounted via NFS? (I cannot put any
"nfsd" in the array...)
Sorry for the "stupid question" but...!!!
This the scheme:

                +-------+
      __________| Array |_______
      |         +-------+      |
      |                        |
  +---+--+                   +-+---+
  | MX1  |                   | MX2 |
  |      |                   |     |
  |      |                   |     |
  +------+                   +-----+
     |                          |
     |                          |
     +<---->Internet or Lan<--->+

Thanks
bye
