We have the following: Webserver web1 with a mounted partition /dev/hda3 (/www) and home of about 40 hosting clients and Webserver web2 with a mounted partition /dev/hda3 (/www) and home of about 40 different hosting clients Mirror-Server mirro mirroring both /www - directories of web1 and web2 every night. Everything works great. Now we wan't to do: When web1 or web2 crashes, mirror should take the identity of the crashed server, providing httpd , ssh and ftp services, so that out hosting clients only have about 5 minutes offline-time. I read something abount mounting /boot and / on different partitions on the mirror server and a modified lilo.conf with different root=/dev/.... definitions so that I can select on reboot. Can somebody give me a tipp or some links to docs! Would be great! -- Jochen Kaechelin
