Just wanted to post my recent accomplishment.
I'm running a home network, with intent to someday adapt to small business, whereby I want a single point of entry firewall/router. Looking around at different open source distros, I thought it would be a lot of fun building a router with failover. So I found a barebones system that I configured with dual m-ITX 1Ghz, dual 512MB Ram, dual 80G Sata drives, plus some other cool stuff like CF readers, and serial ports, all in one 1U case. Since Vyatta supports VRRP, I decided to give it a go, compared to Endian which a friend of mine uses, and some others. Though I haven't worked with the others, I am really pleased with Vyatta OFR. In fact the easiest step was finally configuring VRRP. Took 10 secs, and it all just worked! No I can power down one or the other boards and I am still up online. How cool is that? Anyway, it's nice to have a plan and to finally see it work out. If anyone is interested in building a similar system, I can post more details. Nice work! Todd
