No you cannot. The mac parameter of IPaddr2 is afaik only used in the "cluster ip load balancing clone mode" of IPaddr2, cluster IP in the sense of http://security.maruhn.com/iptables-tutorial/x8906.html You can not do that for a "typical floating IP". Well, not until someone implements the necessary things to do mac address failover, or maybe integrate/combine with what uCARP does. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com DRBD® and LINBIT® are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria. _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
