Basically I've got two of everything (redundant): 2 switches 2 pfsense firewalls 2 physical wan ethernet connections (we're in a datacenter who provides multi-tier internet/network) 2 servers for each service (2 web, 2 db, 2 app, 2 mail) 2 ethernet connections in each server 2 power supplies in each server 2 power strips running full A/B power (one strip can handle the entire load from the servers)s
I'm curious what peoples thoughts are in regards to the switches.. firewalls and servers. What do you guys think the best way would be to make this setup HA? The servers are all debian sarge. I know this is a rather large undertaking and I'd like to know what people think would be the best way to do things especially with regards to pfsense. As i've discussed in previous posts, my pfsense firewalls are kind of the hub of my entire server network. I have web, db/app and mail all on their own network subnets and each of those subnets has its own gateway/physical interface on the firewall. The idea being to filter traffic between these segments. If someone is willing and has the time and credentials; I'm not opposed to 1099 (or exchange of some of our old equipment, which isn't bad stuff at all). I know this isn't a lot of information to work from, but I'm starting to get to that point where I need to make a decision as to how this stuff is going to work. My guess is that much of the mystery will lie with the switch configuration, which I know just enough about to be dangerous. :)
