Hi,

I hvae a linux webserver that has a primary IP (no web config on it) and 10 other IPs assigned to it (one for each web site). It also mounts a backup directory from an EMC VNX via NFS. The EMC exports has the name of the server in it (machine.nsd.org). It worked fine until we failed over to our DR site.

What happened after the failover is that the NFS started using one of the webserver IPs. I figured this out by doing a tcpdump on the webserver. The fix was to add the website name to the export list and it works fine.

My question is why would it pick a different IP? Is there something I can do to force NFS to always use the same IP instead of randomly picking one from the 11 IPs that are assigned to the machine?

Thanks,

ski
