> We have a 1.5TB RAID array that is dual host, can DNEWS be set up on two seperate machines, both pulling from the same spool? (The spool would be on the array) Reason for this is redundancy, the RAID is pretty bulletproof, however would like to have a second news server that could sit idle until we needed it.... (Backup in case of primary failure) Can this be done? How? Hi, DNews supports a read-only configuration which allows additional servers to read off a master servers spool. There is no facility to self-promote a server in the event the master fails, but it should keep reading from the spool. Some minor changes to the configuration files should allow you to manually switch the read-only server to the master (restart dnews after making these changes). For information on configuring read-only servers, see the following page - www.netwinsite.com/dnews/readonly.htm - Roydon L.
