Reply to: bv@wjv.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL61 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit An old client of mine is bringing up a portal site. They current have a T1 to their location, but the site is going to be put on a server at our co-location facility - which is inside an OC-48 connected facility. They are going to keep theri T1 and the current site as a development site, but they want to be able to use that site as a fail-over site in case the main site goes down. These are through two different major backbone carriers, and I'm not sure how this could be implemented. NS and mail are FreeBSD, their WebServer is running Mac OS X - and they are going to using Solaris and Oracle as the back-end to the web servers. I can't t see that the round-robin DNS approach would work, but if the primary DNS (located at tha main site) goes down, would that be enough to force it to the secondary name server - which I'm thinking could point to the backup site. Any pointers as to text/documeatnion/man-pages or anything would be appreciated. Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
