By doing this you will make one of the servers dependant of the other so this is not a *true* backup solution. Someone asked once a similar question concerning backup MySQL servers (wich by the way I haven't solved yet but I didn't do anything to solve it also... I think that the answer should lye in the server software, but - start a new thread if you like... :))) ). Anyway such solutions should reside either at dns level and should be something like the bgp routing (if one route goes down use alternate) or in a software on the alternate mail server that should check if the primary is down and if so to update its network and naming configuration to reflect changes. I believe even a bash script might be enough for such a task. Lets talk some more... :) > Second, you need to set up a second MX record in your DNS zone, with a > higher number than the primary MX, so that the world knows where to try to > send mail when the primary MX is down. > > On Mon, 15 Mar 2004, Nilesh wrote: > > > Hello > > > > Can anyone please tell me how to create Secodary Mail > > Server out of our premisess. > > if the main server is down so mail drop down on > > secondary server > > I have installed Sendmail + DNS on the same machine > > > > Thanks > > Nilesh > > > > __________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!
