Hi folks... I've been reading about SLB and have a quick question I think....
We have a pair of servers that will be providing SMTP/POP3/DNS - the data between the two are replicated in real-time. The plan is to give each server a real IP address and then serve traffic in an active/standby configuration. The servers are within the same subnet and there are several other servers in the same subnet that must communicate with them. Running NAT we'll presume is NOT an option in this setup. The two servers are directly connected to a Catalyst 6500 running native IOS (sup2/msfc2) My question(s) are: Is there a way to have SLB answer a virtual address that is forwarded to the real IP of *one* of the servers while maintaining an active/standy configuration? The docs only talk about load balancing itself..... I understand that with NAT you can do this but without NAT the options are much more limited? If we plugin each server to a seperate 6500, and run NAT - does this complicate matters or matter at all? The obvious solution is to do this on the servers themselves Thanks in advance, Paul _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
