IPMP does that. > Is there the same architecture but > with different machines having 1 VIP in one machine and in case that > machine fails go to the other one? Depends on what's behind the IP. Usually you need that process to fail over as well. If you don't (you're just sharing an IP), an external load balancer is usually the best way to handle it. Have it forward to either machine if they're both up. It'll send only to one if there's a failure. Otherwise you're looking at some type of cluster configuration. A cluster has the information to migrate a single VIP between hosts, usually with a service behind it (like a database). -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
