I am in the process of migrating our qmail/vpopmail/webmail box to a server farm (Using ServerIron for Load Balancing)
I have decided to log everything to a central log server (To simplify support and generation of stats), and came across the following: The following describes how to log to remote host using multilog and tcpclient: http://smarden.org/socklog/network.html Has anyone used the above - Or has comments suggestions on an alternative? I was also thinking of having mysql servers(2 to begin with) in a Mutual Master-Slave relationship (Sitting behind a loadbalancer), and have all qmail/vpopmail/webmail boxes connect to the one (Loadbalanced) IP for auth....Although I have never used Mutual Master-Slave relationship with MySQL, and do not know how effective it is? (If anyone has an alternate solution, please let me know!) We are building the NAS ourselves, and I have had a few reports that NFS was "a total bandwidth whore" - Therefore was considering running Samba only? Would also appreciate anyones experiences(Difficulty in setting up, scalability etc) with using either LDAP, Kerberos or (maybe?) Radius for auth - As I've heard NIS has security issues? Thanks in advance. Regards, MB
