Hi all ,
I want to cluster some freeBSD servers, The purpose of this is to
learn. I would like to run some basic services like www and mail on
a test network. I would like to set up the servers so if one server
falls over the other will take over the services automatically, load
balanceing would be good as well. I have googled, I could be looking
in the wrong place , there seems not to be much in regard to seting up
freebsd in a cluster, lots on linux. I have looked at the High
Availability Linux project , I see on the front page that it will run
on freebsd.
So I am a bit lost and i am wanting to learn how to cluster freebsd
web and mail servers, I have looked at Beowulf clusters, which seem
to give computers more grunt, Can some on on the list please advise me
on what clustering softwhere i need to get started and if the High
Availability Linux project softwhere will do the job.
web links any thing to help me get started would be good. No I do not
want to change over to linux.
Thanks

Hello,
I have been running freevrrpd and pen (http://siag.nu/pen/ or in ports)
for HA web services.
My setup was a firewall/gateway consisting of more than 1 machine using
freevrrpd thus enabling failover for the firewall/gateway. I write
firewall and not firewalls since freevrrpd creates a virtual ip that is
failover'ed between the machines.
On the firewall/gateway pen were running and pointed towards the web
servers. Pen can point at as many web servers as you like and balances
the load between them in a very simple way. If the web servers are
identical in setup they become redundant. DNS loadbalancing is very
similar.
Good luck!

I don't have any experience yet with it but I'm planning on using CARP
with PF to do redondant gateways. You can do round-robin RDR with PF to
distribute the load. You can even put the same server IP more than one
time in the list to forward more traffic to this server! I tested it but
I didn't tried CARP yet.
I read I couple of articles on CARP with BSD, I'm a little bit surprised
that nobody made reference to it yet. Now it's done ;)
