vvrpd was designed just "to prove the concept" and is not recommended in production environment.This would make greater sense/benefit/appropriateness on two different machines, I think. vrrpd is another good alternative. sourceforge is the repository.
keepalived (http://keepalived.sourceforge.net/) works great for me.

For example, I can simulate this by manually deactivating eth0 and activating eth1, although it takes about 15 secs for the MAC address to be updated. It should be relatively simple to write a program that monitors the current Ethernet interface and does the change-over automatically (and forces the MAC update), but before re-inventing the wheel, I suspect there is already a system program that already does this, I just haven't found one on Red Hat 8.0. thanks in advance, --John Klingler _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/_______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
