I am the network administrator for a public school system in ARkansas.....
We have just implemented a single qmail mail server for the
district....which consists of 8 schools, on 5 different site locations. our
4 remote elementary schools have 384K dedicated internet connections....and
our main campus has a t-1, that feeds 4 schools plus administration.
The new mail system was put on a single domain on an ip for the main campus.
The 4 remote elementaries have different ip numbers/subnet masks....
when their internet connection is out....which happens often, I would like
for local e-mail delivery to still work, while all remote messages are put
in que. when the connection comes up, messages are sent....transparently.
i would like to do this without running other domains....
Each remote site...(and the main campus for that matter) is connected to a
transparent masquerading proxy (firewall) server....is this possible...maybe
with port forwarding....firewall rules...runing a qmail server on each local
proxy?
I don't have a clue where to start with this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
