Ahh sorry if that wasn't clear. We don't. We resolve the addresses for each replicated mount host (using gethostbyname) and then compare those addresses to the routing table in /proc/net/route to determine whether the mount is on the same subnet as the client. When we're ready to mount, we would pass the addr= option to the mount command to hint to it that it should use this address instead of the first one in the list. -- Jeff Layton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
