We're using a single LVS server to balance things out to 4 webserver, 2 POP mail and 2 SMTP mail servers. Actually, it's 3 webservers right now, as a hardware failure required us to steal a webserver for 'other uses' ;) All of the servers behind the LVS are netbooting from an NFS machine. This sucks because we have a single point of failure (LVS) but the intent is to get a second eLViS (hehe) running with heartbeat between the two. It's on the network map ;) So you can run it with a single LVS, but I wouldn't prefer to. Since it's simply redirecting stuff, it doesnt' need to be that powerful. j -- ================================================== + It's simply not | John Keimel + + RFC1149 compliant! | [EMAIL PROTECTED] + + | http://www.keimel.com + ================================================== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
