[Freeipa-users] Load balancing

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

I'm a bit unclear on a few aspects of the IPA design....

In the beginning of the fedora 15 user document there is comment on load balancing yet when you join a client its stating a specific server, so how does that work?

So is the load balancing manual-matic?  ie if you have several replicas  you have to point the client at one or other when you join?

If so how does the client survive while one replica is off line?

For an architecture design for our site Im thinking of have a "Master" Master that does the gui and the AD sync but then 2 replicas that I point the clients at? keeping the master isolated with a firewall so clients dont normally connect does this make sense?

Possibly some visio (oops wash my mouth out) diagrams in the doc on architectural options would be useful....I know I'd find them useful.
