Re: BGP On Host
Kind of, except both machines are on 2 different ISP, in different states. At ApacheCon, I described how I have a server in Oregon and a server in Florida, and I have a monitoring program that does a dynamic DNS update when one of the hosts goes down. The individual described that what they are doing is something to do with BGP, in which they have multiple servers in different countries, all with the same IP address. Traffic is routed to the nearest logical server, until one goes down, then the traffic is routed to the nearest logical server that is still up. That is what I am wanting. Since I didn't get the person's contact information, I am trying to figure out how to do it myself. Sincerely, Rick Duvall - Original Message - From: "Marc G.

Re: BGP On Host
I wasn't sure if it was BGP or if it was something else. Definetly between routers would be using BGP. But, I heard at an apache conference somebody was doing something where the machine would send a keepalive to the directly connected Cisco router, and if the router didn't receive the keepalive signal, BGP would re-route the traffic to the other host. Both hosts are on different ISP, but have the same IP address. Traffic is routed from the requester to the closest logical server. I think UltraDNS does this with their DNS servers as well. Anyway, I don't know what the host uses to send the keepalive to the Cisco router, or even how to configure the BGP to make it work. I was wondering if somebody on the list has set up the same configuration on a couple of fault tolerant FreeBSD boxes.

BGP On Host
Has anybody heard of making a webserver redundant using BGP? That is, if I set up 2 machines on different ISP's, with exactly the same content on them (mirrored). If both hosts are up, the traffic is routed to the closes server to the person making the request. Otherwise, if one server is down, traffic is automatically re-routed to the other box.

Re: creating a small FreeBSD box
I use a little box built by Intel in my house for my DSL. It's an ITX formfactor chassis. It has 1 ethernet on board and 1 PCI slot where you can put a second NIC. There are no drive bays, so you have to take the machine apart to plug a temporary CD-Rom drive into the motherboard to install the OS. In my case, I already had a hard drive with FreeBSD loaded on it, so I just transplanted the drive into the ITX chassis. As far as hard drive, it's hard to find 300M drives anymore. Your best bet would be to go for the least expensive drive you can, even if it is a 20 gig IDE. Nothing says that you can't have a 20 gig drive and only use 300M of space on it. Sure, it's a waste of drive space, but who cares if you only pay $40 for a drive that has a 5 year warranty. You also might want to look at solid state filesystem. I think this has been discussed on the list from time to time. Then you only have to worry about cooling fans.

Re: Verifying integrity of Backup Tapes
I was doing incrementals, and since my amverify failed on one of my tapes, I found that doing incrementals in my case is a bad idea if I can fit a full backup of all my data onto one tape. Now I am doing a level 0 on every run. Amverify get's to about the 6th filesystem I am dumping to tape and gives me an Input/output error. I know it's not the end of the tape, otherwise amdump would say so. FYI: These are travan 10/20 tapes. I know, not the best choice. I am trying to convince my boss to replace it with a DDS4 drive, as the DDS4 tapes are less expensive. These are $40 a piece, whereas the DDS4's are $13 a piece and hold twice as much data.

Re: disappearing email?
I am running my SMTP server on both ports 25 and 1025. The idea here is that we have a number of off site workers on a DSL account in which the ISP won't allow any port 25 connections from the inside to the outside of their network unless they are incoming SMTP from outside of their network. These offsite workers have to use port 1025 to send email through our mail server to avoid the port blocking rules that the ISP has implemented.

Re: Amanda or Bacula
So to clarify just so that I understand correctly: 1. Each filesystem per system to be backed up qualifies as a dumpfile. 2. Multiple dumpfiles per backup 3. Multiple tapes per backup, as long as 1 dumpfile isn't larger than the tape. One of my systems has a 120 gig drive with about 36gigs (and growing) of people's images, documents, etc on it (samba server). My single tape drive is only 20 gigs.

Amanda or Bacula
Here is my situation: I have about 200 gigs of data to back up every night on multiple machines on the network. All are either FreeBSD or Linux based. My backup machine is FreeBSD. I have about 30 gigs of dump drive space, and a 20 gig tape drive. I am pretty much convinced that even if I use compression, I will need to span across multiple tapes or get a bigger tape drive. At the very least I may have to get more dump drive and do incremental backups. At any rate, I am having a hard time deciding between Amanda and Bacula. Amanda has been around forever and is known to work, but to the best of my knowledge doesn't span across multiple tapes. Bacula, on the other hand, does span across multiple tapes, but it hasn't been out as long. Is this a choice of personal preference, or does one actually work better than the other in my scenario?

Errors with smbstatus, Samba 3.0.0b3
I don't get this error in Linux, but I do when I run it on FreeBSD. I look in /usr/local/lib/charset, and there are no .so files that it is refering to.

Re: SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL Modem
On your SpeedTouch 330 modem, did you have any problems with the USB port just shutting off? I have to reboot to get it back. I am wondering if I need to increase a buffer somewhere, or if it is caused by the phone ringing. - Original Message - From: "Daan Vreeken [PA4DAN]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Rick Duvall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 2:57 PM Subject: Re: SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL Modem On Wednesday 25 June 2003 23:45, you wrote: > Is your modem the 330, or does it even matter?

SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL Modem
I have a SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem which I am trying to connect to Qwest's ADSL (PPPoA). I am running FreeBSD 4.2, and all I can find in the docs is support for a SpeedTouch USB, not the 330. Though, on the SpeedTouch website, it says it supports Linux, which means that somebody has most likely ported it to FreeBSD. Anyway, I tried the instructions in the handbook for the Alcatel Speed Touch USB and it seems that everything is fine except for the firmware that you download off of the SpeedTouch website. I am expecting to download speedmgmt.tar.gz, and they just have a zip file binary that extracts into 2 binary files that the Makefile doesn't recognize.
