Hello,
I've been an OpenVPN user for about 15 years, but I am brand new to the
mailing list.
I am building a redundant monitoring system (naemon+merlin) and I would
like to establish a means to connect three distributed monitoring
machines over a common private encrypted network using OpenVPN. I am
designing the system in a manner where any of the machines can be
off-line but the 'service' remains fully functional. So, I wouldn't be
able to define just one of the machines as the OpenVPN server, since if
it goes down the other two lose connectivity to each other. And the
intent of the system is to be fully isolated/stand-alone - so I really
shouldn't introduce other systems into the mix.
The way I've accomplished this in the past is as follows:
Server A has clients B and C
Server B has clients C (and A)
(or something like that)
This gets a little sloppy with the need to have multiple
tunnels/networks on each machine, but it works and resolves the problem
of having 'Server A' become unavailable - B and C can still communicate.
Is there a better way to do this? Somehow having all three machines
participate in the same network?
Any advice is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
