Tomasz, Have you looked at keepalived? It has a rich feature set, is actively maintained, and can function strictly as a VRRPD. One intelligent aspect of design allows for two routers to be in active use each functioning as a backup for the other. It sounds like your situation is rather complex, but I imagine with some creativity, you could configure keepalived to your advantage. http://www.keepalived.org/ http://www.keepalived.org/pdf/UserGuide.pdf I'd recommend reading the user's guide for some ideas. Given your description here, I'd suggest reading section X (Case Study) very carefully. Good luck, -Martin : Hello, : : Could someone experienced suggest good solution for failover : advanced router ? : : The router for which I need redundancy is quite complex: : 1) has 5 interfaces : 2) uses the same network and the other network IP aliases on some interfaces : 3) uses bunch of policy routing rules : 4) uses proxyarp feature on some interfaces : 5) uses complex iptables setup [propably not important in this issue]. : : What I need to achieve is basic failover, I do not criticaly need : transparency failover. : : I found some docs about ip_takeover with fake utility but : propably it has too weak features [and uses old ifconfig]. Also found vrrpd tool but : I am confused if I can really depend on it for such a "multithread" configuration. : Finally I consider using Heartbeat with set of scripts for "manual" : bringing up all interfaces on preconfigured spare router in case of : primary one fails. : : I would be very gratefull for some discuss about proper solution for my : case. : : : Regards, : tw : -- : : ----------- : ck.eter.tym.pl : : _______________________________________________ : LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ : -- Martin A.
