I'm looking to implement redundant mail servers. Load balancing would be *very nice* considering the cost of the hardware, but redundancy is the requirement. I would like to use freebsd, of course, but things are looking pretty grim. Hopefully someone on the list can help me out. I have only found one way to do this on freebsd and that is to use an application solution such as polyserve's understudy. $3000 is a hunk of change though, and they don't support anything past 4.1-RELEASE. Who knows what they are going to support tomorrow, so I'm not too keen on that idea. The route that I would really like to take a shot at is to hook two freebsd machines up to a multi-host scsi enclosure and use sistina's gfs for the filesystem. The only problem there is gfs hasn't been ported to freebsd yet. They have been promising a port for several years now, but one still hasn't appeared. Anyone have any other ideas? -rcollins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
