Hi,
i've got a NIS master server that provides also home directory sharing thru
automount. Now I'm planning to build a NIS slave server, but I'm not sure
about how to use the slave server as a backup one also for automount. Did
anybody do something like this?
Luca

i don't exactly know what you mean with automount - but i guess that the
clients get their filesystem over nfs.
if both servers (master & slave nis server) connected to a shared
storage environment, clients could also mount their filesytems from
the slave server in a failover situation.
probably DRBD is something for you (http://www.drbd.org) - raid1
mirrored network block device.
