Can you add NICs? There should be no requirement for DRBD replication to happen over any particular interface, and obviously having it's own dedicated interfaces without a switch is much nicer than what you have now.

DRBD doesn't support multiple networks, as it uses a constant TCP Connection for updates - You could probably do it with some routing protocol, but that'd be really ugly.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for all the help - The default log rotation time for ubuntu seems to be 7 days so it seems this will remain a mystery.

A dedicated cross over for replication is not an option because the web servers connect to the DB over the same link. Is it possible to add the public interface as a second replication interface? Do I simply add it in the .res file with the existing ip address?

The setup was primary/primary uptodate/uptodate before I copied the sites across. It then sat for a couple weeks doing nothing untill this week when dev tested on it and this hapenned.

    Was this ever really primary/primary, uptodate/uptodate? I can't find 
anything in the logs indicating that it was ever truly dual primary. Your logs 
seem to rotate quickly, so if you are really only keeping logs going back three 
days you'll probably never know root cause.

    Personally, I'd bypass the switch and go with a cross-connect direct 
between the boxes - Or two if you have enough NICs.
