If so both active and passive could have as their /etc/hosts files: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 1.2.3.1 m1.my.dom m1 1.2.3.2 m2.my.dom m2 1.2.3.4 float.my.dom float Then I assume you need to weewee on arp a little and do something like ip address add xxx .. and delete it off the failing one etc etc ... ? On the other hand - you probably dont need any of this as DNS is probably doing it all no ? I'll leave this to the failover, clusterer experts .. gene -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
