That is really strange. I don't have it in current and I'm supping everything daily and building world. :-( I don't really understand. I've got to be missing something really stupid. Would it be too much to ask for you to send me the port in a tgz? I'd really like to try it. Thanks, ed Quoting Andy : | It's in the ports as of 4.3-RELEASE | The one you mention is the Linux version | which doesn't run on fBSD. The vrrpd in | the ports I mentions *is* the Linux version | ported to fBSD with it's GPL intact ;) | | Regards | Andy | | > -----Original Message----- | > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG | > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Edwin Culp | > Sent: 24 July 2001 14:13 | > To: Andy | > Cc: Lawrence Farr; 'Tony Saign'; freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG | > Subject: RE: Redundant setup on a budget?? | > | > | > Quoting Andy : | > | > | > Have it set to another IP, and if it can't ping the first one for 2 | > | > minutes | > | > or whatever time you fancy, do an ifconfig to take the main | > machines IP, | > | > and restart | > | > all your services. | > | > | > | > Or even easier echo the new IP to the end of rc.conf and reboot! | > | | > | /usr/ports/net/vrrpd | > | > I didn't find it in ports but I did find it at | > http://w3.arobas.net/~jetienne/vrrpd/ | > and it sounds as like a good potential solution. | > | > ed | > | | > | why wait two minutes when it can be done in 2 seconds ;) | > | | > | Regards | > | Andy | > | | > | | > | > 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.
