A small script could solve that problem, but best to avoid custom solutions. I ran into this same issue and ended up putting a little REST server on top of fail2ban (using the socket that fail2ban-client uses) and if something is banned on one server hit the API of all its siblings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fail2ban-users mailing list Fail2ban-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fail2ban-users
