Hello Debianer, I run a Class C network and I have reserver 16 IP's for a secure network
I had in the network following: x.x.x.96 NW x.x.x.97 GW to Router x.x.x.98 omega shttp apache x.x.x.99 omega-db postgreSQL 2x7x36GB (RAID-1) Client-Database Radius x.x.x.100 omega-acc \ x.x.x.101 omega-acc1 \ x.x.x.102 omega-acc2 | SSL-Access-Server 33/56/64/128k x.x.x.103 omega-acc3 / x.x.x.104 omega-acc4 / x.x.x.110 omega-backup HB Surestore 12000e x.x.x.111 BC Now, I was working for the french Governement and on the postgreSQL is a Database about Persons and an Video/Picture-Identification System for finding persons... omega is a PPro200 with 64 MByte and works quiet well omegadb is a quad PPro200 with 1024 MByte of memory and give me to much trouble, because the Video/Picture-Identification System need all resources... It give me only 6 MBit on a 3Com 3c905B-TX. Now I have splitted my Servers in smaller parts like: x.x.x.98 omega shttp x.x.x.99 omega-db postgreSQL 2x7x36GB Main-Database x.x.x.100 omega-pic ssl-nfs -> omega Stores about 280 GByte in JPEG's without compression up to 3072x2048/32 x.x.x.101 omega-accdb postgreSQL + Radius Client-Identification from Network and Access-Server x.x.x.102 omega-acc \ x.x.x.103 omega-acc1 \ x.x.x.104 omega-acc2 | SSL-Zugangsserver 33/56/64/128k x.x.x.105 omega-acc3 / x.x.x.106 omega-acc4 / x.x.x.107 omega-ident Calculates the Video/Pics for Identification x.x.x.108 free x.x.x.109 free x.x.x.110 omega-backup HB Surestore 12000e Now my omega-db runs betwee 14 and 17 MBits, but thats nothing !!! I will get a 34 Mbit-Backbone next year in Strasbourg an I need more Power. I have created this Network with the postgreSQL-HOWTO and some other Informations on the Net, and it works, but I need some Tips for a reconstruction. Maybe for a better design. But I have not more than 13 IP's availlable. The other thing ist the Autentication on the Customer side, because it is Proxy with ssh-Tunneling and has directly nothing to do with the Customer, because the Customer install the server in its Network and use it like a Proxy, and its me, which choose the authentication. The same is, if the Customer contact my Network via Access-Server. What about LDPA and how does it work ? I do not understand, how to integrate it into my Database. Thanks in Advance Michelle Konzack
