-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A few years back we used to run this kinda setup with sendmail. These were just plain jane installs. One box was running Mandrake the other was running Slackware. All the fail over was done via DNS. DNS resolved mail.pionet.net to hit 199.120.116.1 and if it didn't respond, mail.pionet.net resolved to a different IP. Not really much of a magic trick. My O'Reilly 3rd Edition DNS and Bind book covers it in Chapter 5 "DNS and Electronic Mail".
