load balancing two qmail servers using nfs

I've got two qmail servers running inside a load balancer. They both access the same /var/mail/username/Maildir directories on an NFS server. They also share many of the same configuration files in /var/qmail/control on the NFS server. The files they share are local symbolic links to the shared

Re: load balancing two qmail servers using nfs

you might consider using rsync to sync your conffiles, instead of sharing them over nfs. this would eliminate alot of problems and latency i'd think. On 06/24/00 @ 12:11AM, Mike Denka wrote: > I've got two qmail servers running inside a load balancer. They both access > the same /var/mail/usern

Re: load balancing two qmail servers using nfs

Mike, You might make sure that the UID/GIDs map the same on both servers and the NFS machine. i.e.- If the qmaild user is user 500 on the first server, but is a different UID number on the second server or the NFS machine you might have problems. Also, what do your tcpserver init scripts look

RE: load balancing two qmail servers using nfs

Both servers are NIS clients from the same master, which happens to be the NFS server. So the user information is identical across all machines involved. The tcpserver init scripts on the second machine were copied from the first machine, and so are also identical. Both good points, but not th
