if you give the proper capabilities to a guest, it can do almost everything the host can do, but usually this goes with a price (lower security) active/passive failover scenarios are best implemented on the host, which can in turn start/stop/redirect guests when needded (inside a guest it doesn't make too much sense to act on fail/switchovers with network changes) > I found information regarding some NGNET patches but these > seem to be dated Nov-2005. > > I guess my questions are: is my setup possible currently with > Vserver failover scenarios are successfully implemented with Linux-VServer, but not in the way you descibe it > and if NGNET is required are the Nov-2005 patches the current > ones that should be used? they are proof of concept patches and not really suited for production (not speaking of HA :) HTC, Herbert > Thanks > > John > > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
