I know this question is probably partly outside the scope of this mailing list, but when you''re using a backup server with automatic failover, what is the recommended method to ensure that its configuration is periodically (or automatically) synchronized to the master server it has to be the backup for? Are there any tools that help automate this, or am I best off bashing up a set of shell scripts? -- Rens Houben | opinions are mine Resident linux guru and sysadmin | if my employers have one Systemec Internet Services. |they''ll tell you themselves PGP public key at http://suzaku.systemec.nl/shadur.key.asc -- new Dec 12 2001
