Hello, I've been using linux-vserver for years and years. I'm getting ready to put a couple servers into use and it seems things have changed greatly since I last configured it. Namely, you can do lots of cool stuff that couldn't be done before.
I'll admit, I'm using a budget colo facility. I want to keep my bandwidth down. To achieve this, I've connected the servers via eth1 to each other to create a private lan. Ideally, all traffic between the hosts would use this lan. I first started struggling with the idea of setting up multihomed vhosts when I realized it was pure insanity to do so. It would be so much better to create all the vservers on the private lan segment and use the hosts as routers to the outside world. By using SNAT rules, I can keep all my vhost traffic quiet and I can even install different services on different vhosts. Smart, right? Am I on the right track here, or should I just use multi-homed vservers? Anyone here seen a scenario like this documented? I'd love to be able to stand on the shoulders of giants. Additionally, I would love to use both quota and have the benefits of unification. I understand that to use quotas you need a separate filesystem. Of course, this makes unification impossible. So I had a bright idea. Most of the user data, everything I think I need to count against quotas as a matter of fact, will be in /home. So what if I create a filesystem (loop for example) and somehow mount it so that it is /home in the vserver. Would this allow me to enable quotas on the /home area of the disk? Lastly, what is the best way to share user accounts across several vservers? (possibly spanning two physical hosts) Best being simple, reliable, non resource intensive and secure. Thanks for your suggestions and help. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
