We are a VERY small outfit, (with limited funds as well) and I would like to provide a somewhat fault tolerant setup, can anyone offer some advice??? Currently have 1 FreeBSD 4.3 machine providing web, email, and secondary DNS services. I have another identical 2 system ready @ a moments notice to replace the primary in the event of a hardware problem. I tested this out, I can simply dump the last good backup on it, and to my surprise everything looks good! My question is this: Given the fact that we have 2 systems available what would the easiest way to accomplish an 'automated' rollover of services?? Could the machines be somehow synchronized, similar to the PDC/BDC NT model?? I can do this in a Windows NT (YUK!!!!!!) environment, but have limited experience with BSD. I am in process of removing our NT server!!!!! :) (happy happy joy joy!) Feel free to offer advice off-list, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
