Hi Guys, I'm not sure if I'm at the right place so sorry if this is annoying but...
I run a cyrus mail server here at Cytopia supporting about 35 users. I have recently purchased some new boxes to upgrade the servers. I am upgrading the Cyrus server, but I am also keen to run a mirror backup cyrus server. Now my question is, can anyone give me any pointers on how to go about designing a backup mail server. I have configured one box as I want, then mirrored in onto another. But I am confused about the DNS setup .. should I create an alias ie mail that can point to either?? And secondly I am keen to somehow have the mail server polled and if it stops responding bring the backup server into play. To keep them syncronised I am planning to use rsync... but then how do I keep the sasl backend in sync, with different realms etc? Anyway as you might have gathered I am by no means on top of the problem so any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
