I've got two qmail servers running inside a load balancer. They both access
the same /var/mail/username/Maildir directories on an NFS server. They also
share many of the same configuration files in /var/qmail/control on the NFS
server. The files they share are local symbolic links to the shared volume
on the NFS server. A few hours after bringing up the second qmail server,
the first one, which had been running fine for two weeks, quit working. The
errors I am getting in the syslog file on the failing server are
"Can't_connect_to_SMTP_server" and "Can't_chdir_to_Maidir". Anyone have any
success with this configuration or have any idea what could be causing the
first server to loose its way?
Running qmail and NFS on Solaris 2.7 (first server and NFS server) and 2.8
(second qmail server). The first server (the one failing) responds to
connections on port 25 but can't send or deliver and is not spawning any
qmail processes. The second server is now doing all the work.
Thanks,
Mike
