Thanks for the detail on your setup. Helps me alot. I have been pondering a load balanced scenario for sometime and one question that I have: Is it possible to accomplish load balancing using DNS? For example you could have two mailservers defined in a DNS table like: mail.domain.net IN A 192.168.100.10 mail.domain.net IN A 192.168.100.11 domain.net. IN MX 10 mail.domain.net. from what I understand about DNS is that it will round-robin any requests so that in effect you get a load balanced because every DNS query is alternately resolved to a different IP address. You could then NFS mount your mail store to both mail servers. Of course you could keep adding more servers very easily. Would this scenario work? Kind of a poor man's load balancer? Anyone have any experience with this? --- Ed. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
