[Fedora] Re: Failover setup

[Ferguson, Michael]

May I suggest:
Two different broadband lines each with its individual firewall/router
Configure your DNS to hand out the two default gateways.
If one fails the second one is already in the search path. No???

    What happens if/when the LVS goes down?  Connections that are supposed
to go through it are (once again) dead?  No, I'm not trying to figure out
every single possible point of failure here, I'm just trying to figure out
what happens when something that acts as a controller for many happens to go
>poof< ...

    See, our biggest problem here is that we have several public servers at
three different locations, and we ned to be able to get to those machines
from here.  If our firewall here goes down, we can't get anywhere, let alone
to our remote offices.  So in a sense, that firewall is our single point of
failure (if I look past the CSU/DSU.)  So I'm looking at ways to "fix" or
aliviate this part of our operation...
