Thanks for the reply Soeren, would this "election" process be on a OSPF basis/level? How do you differentiate between the host not available from a network point of view and from a service point of view. My network skills are limited and to be honest; OSPF was mentioned during our discussions but I had to read up on it afterwards and it seemed similar to the solutions we were discussing. > > I think this would be a good way to go because it is very close to real life > scenarios form my point of view, I most likely have a view masters in > geographically distributed locations, but not tens of servers in one location > ( > maybe already counting e.g. different buildings on a campus as locations ) > > Not sure if that is a way to go, but maybe it helps a little > Regards ________________________________________________________________________ In order to protect our email recipients, Betfair Group use SkyScan from MessageLabs to scan all Incoming and Outgoing mail for viruses. ________________________________________________________________________ -- 389-devel mailing list 389-de...@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-devel
