In your case I would get two so that each machine can be signaled to separately and if it is a two way street reply separately. I have never used the UPS daemons so don't know how they work but I doubt they are made to work with multiples on the UPS. If you are not going to have the machine interact with the UPS then you can get one to cover both machines Chad > > Both run FreeBSD 5.4. > > Thanks a lot in advance. > > -- > Kiffin Rex Gish > Gouda, The Netherlands > > > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Dan O'Connor [mailto:dan@ferrarishields.com] >> Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 21:41 >> To: Kiffin Gish; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >> Subject: Re: UPS advice, please ... >> >> >>> I have a couple web servers running FreeBSD 5.x and need to protect >>> them >>> against power outages. >>> >>> These are two simple machines running at home so nothing >> fancy.
