[SLUG] In need of servers
Hello slug, Slightly not about linux, but I'm currently trying to source reasonably priced 1RU servers in Sydney (which will run debian) however I don't seem to be able to get any anymore for less then about $2.5k to $3k... They will be primarily used for web and email serving, and only needs to be a bare minimum P3 or equiv, in a 1 RU case with 1/2 gig of ram and 2 x 20+ IDE drives... looking to pay about ~$2k... If anyone knows of any can you please let me know, this isn't a 1 off and we will be looking to purchase at least 1 every 1 to 2 months...

Re[2]: [SLUG] Backup Mail servers (OT)
Hello David, DF well that's what the discussion has been about, search back a few weeks DF for the replies to my thread on the subject of secondary mx's. DF If you have a secondary on the same site as your primary then it covers DF you if the primary goes down but not if your site is cut off from the DF net. You could then have a tertiary mx that is off site of course. DF Or you could not have any. It is my understanding that a secondary MX will still reject the mail 5 days after just like any other mailserver on the net would if you don't have a server up and running that can collect the mail or redirect it to another server in that time, the only benefit for secondary MX's is if there is a dialup and the ISP has dynamic IP's etc and while everything updated etc... or having it on the same site, because then you shouldn't get hit with a surge of mail coming in once all the servers realise your server is back up, and like wise they won't try to hit a dead IP, they'll shift it along to the next preferanced server... there is a downside... the secondary can be used to spam you, as it can't check if they are a valid account until it's shunted to the primary or a server that deals with it... feel free to correct me if i'm wrong... /2cents -- Best regards, evilbunnymailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Before I ever set about setting up a new domain/project I searched mailing lists, the web other wireless project sites (the only project listed in Sydney was the Nepean one, which no one seems to know anything about) and the sydney.air.net.au group (which I might add never replied to emails sent to them) I also assumed they were dead, and in any case didn't cover the area myself or my friends are in, and as to date I've gotten 2 APs which will be going up shortly, I shall ask the question to this list, are there any active projects happening in Sydney, with equipment and active links, APs etc etc etc I should be talking to, because all I've found so far is a few friends with point to point links and nothing in the way of a plan for expansion, or even the motivation to get to it and organise people into a what could be a very good thing for Sydney, both to those without access to cable and those with it. So far to date I have the 2 APs I purchased last week, plus another 2 I can get for installing a point to point link for a business associate plus another business meeting on Friday with another business associate that could possibly inject sponsorship into the project. There is another project, secret.net.au however I too believe this is mostly a dead project, please correct me if I'm wrong. -- Best regards, evilbunny mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sydneywireless.com Yep.
