tuesday, i ran into a major emergency with a hardware failure on our email machine which uses 130 ip addresses. my only choice was to move it to the host side of our dell vserver host. this is presently causing an extreme amount of port clashes as the email server wants to grab every ip on port 80 for webmail rather than stick to a single /24 and i so far have not found a way to bind it to only a single network.
putting it into a guest would cure all of this i believe... i did not do this initially due to the 16 ip limitations... is that limitation released yet? or is there code available which works well enough to stuff it into a production environment? i have had to shut down 14 vservers just to get mail to run :( the only other option i have is to buy a replacement server and put mail onto that which i prefer not to do as we are targeting a large new server to put all the vservers onto which would leave the dell to run email as a stand alone machine but this wont happen for a good month yet as once the server comes in i have to recompile every virtual to live on amd64/opteron arch as i move them over (quite time consuming considering i am moving 40+ vservers off a p3 intel environment).. -- Chuck _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
