Hello, All,
I realize that this might be better asked in the IMail Forum but this group
has a little better signal-to-noise ratio so I thought I'd try here first.
We are doing Store and Forward mail filtering for a customer. We use the
"hosts" file to define what IP to Forward mail to after we process it for
spam and viruses. In the last week or so this customer has added a 2nd ISP
to the mix so they can now receive e-mail on 2 different public IP addresses
associated with 2 different ISPs.
If one ISP goes down we would like to be able to foward to the other IP. If
I put 2 entries in the "hosts" file, e.g.
66.148.217.251 domain.com
70.60.133.251 domain.com
will this mechanism rotate through both IPs or will it also just use
whichever it hits first when reading from the top of the list down? Or is
it just a bad idea in general to do this and we will just have to change the
IP manually if one ISP goes down?
Thanks, Much!
Dan
