I knew that would be an option but I'm going to have a hard time selling my managers on that. They don't understand how FOSS works and have already expressed doubts... It definitely sounds like a very workable solution though - the "resource" is not an IP or a clone, it is an entire network of IPs. I'm new enough for there to be benefit in me trying other solutions too though - I'm going to have a look at keepalived and if it doesn't work out of the box I'll have a crack at adapting IPaddr2. > >> > BTW, why do you need so many IPs? >> >> I was hoping this question wouldn't get asked but thought it might... >> I spent *heaps* of time explaining why on the netfilter list.

Sorry about jumping at you! It's just felt like I had a new one torn for me when I last mentioned what the project was for... :-). Thanks for all your help. You'll probably get me back asking silly questions about why my adapted script isn't working in a week or so!
