no, this is not IP bonding. Jepoy's idea is correct. 2 servers with different physical IP and then create a virtual IP on the active server. here's a sample scenario: (service = samba) 2 server(active-backup), samba service is stopped on the backup server synchronize ALL the samba configuration/files via rsync, (put it in crontab to sync regularly) replicate the data via DRBD create a virtual IP on active server (users will connect using this IP) create a script that will do manual and auto fail/switch over.
but this one is not that easy, it will just cost you a couple of hundred of hairs right in the middle of your head. :-)) I hope it may help. thanks, warren On 10/1/07, jan gestre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 10/1/07, jepoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > hi guys, > > > > i just want to ask this technology if its LACP or virtual ip thing.
