Can someone point me for good VRRPD (rfc2338) implementation on linux. Some stable and live project Thanks _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

Hi. Is anyone using conntrack-tools to implement gateway failover on a network with windows clients? I set it up with ucarp and keepalived, and found that gratuitous ARP doesn''t always seem to update the cache on Windows machines. It works the first time, but if a second failover happens, the client continues to send stuff to the wrong MAC address. Linux machines work fine.

Hi. I''m wondering if there''s a good way to configure a Linux firewall box to failover to a single backup server, while preserving connection state. This question has been asked before, but the latest reference I can find is from 2004, at which time Linux had no equivalent of OpenBSD''s pfsync, though Harald was said to be working on one. Did anything come of those

...aces 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...

Hi all! I think I remember there have discussion on this topic on this mailinglist a while ago. But the archives don''t find anything. Did anyone here set up a configuration with shorewall and heartbeat or vrrpd or ucarp? What would you prefer? Any experiences with failover times, setup problems etc? Good documentation on this?

I''d like to setup a box with 2 NICs as a firewall which will also rate limits outbound traffic. What happens when/if that box hangs or is rebooted? I''d like a solution that when there is a failure, traffic can still go through the box even though the firewall and rate limiting functions will no longer be in effect. I believe that this is "failing closed" but have

...ave setup BGP. What I have been recently informed of is that the 2 firewalls must do some sort of failover between them when either of the default gateway’s are no longer responsive. I had initially looked into using heartbeat (which I am still considering) to do the failover or possibly using vrrpd (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Daemon). This however isn’t what I am contacting this list about. What I need to do at minimal, is at least for the failover, is to detect when the default gateway of (say) firewall 1 is no longer available and perform failover to firewall 2 and vice versa. As...
