Re: [swinog] datacenter failover?

Hi,

we have some servers in datacenter#1: ns1, ns2, web1(mail/sql). we also have ns3 and web2 outside this web.

how can we make this working?

ok, we can copy the data by cron, no problem.

Not a problem for static content, but in case of webmail and a database, its not that easy anymore. Assuming, I read my email during failover to the other datacenter, the cronjob has to know, that the master of the storage resides in the backup datacenter.

but can i give ns3 another ip for an a record?

I would personally define ns1 as master and ns2/ns3 as slaves. ns2/ns3 are the A records for the various domains, but you only edit your zonefiles on ns1.

kind regards

Robert
