So I think this section needs a little bit of rewording or clarification (at least for me) ... >This example will provide fail over support >for three hosts, both with unique <acronym>IP</acronym> >addresses and provide the same web content. Three or two hosts? >Prepare the third machine, provider.example.org, so that >it may handle fail over from either host. This machine >will require two carp devices, one to handle each of host. Does this mean that I need three machines with an identical configuration in this example? With 2 of them (the content providers) always being online? And only when one of them fails, the "backup server" (provider.example.org) will take over for one of them (so we still have 2 online content providers)? And when the failed machine is back online, it will take over again from provider.example.org? jkois
