I agree - this should not have happened.
Hopefully someone fixed this by now.
But since I personally had hacked up the kernel I am sure that it was
correctly build and this is a generic 2.2.16? problem.

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I am looking at setting up a small non-local redundant webserver. The
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; net access for each node is through different ISP's so each node has
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; different IP's. In fact, there is nothing in common between the two
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; different networks. They have no common router.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; The main site is serverd by a T1 line that is susceptable to an outage
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; caused by falling trees. I would like to make the outage as short as
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; possible by making the backup site live as fast as possible. Right now,
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; other than editing the DNS listing and waiting for the change to
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; propogate, I have no other way to do this.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Any suggestions?

&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If nothing else, you could try round-robin DNS.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; That way roughly half of your dns quiries will go to each IP.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Then set your client TTL low so your users are requesting a new DNS
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; entry fairly often.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; If one of your sites fails,  there is a 50% chance your users will go
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; to the other site with their next DNS request.  (ie. if you have M$
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; users, they do a dns request at least once per reboot.)
