The Radius Proxy is able to send the Request packets to different servers ( AFAIK ), without client knowing something about it. Though LDAP is not same as the RADIUS, but I can imagine that is able to write a daemon ( on the balancer box ) that allows connections. And this same daemon should be able to forward the queries to the real servers ( = of course the one that are alive ). It also should be able to know which servers are alive and which not... Just my 50 cent... :D Regards, Edvin Seferovic=20 -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-bounces@lists.netfilter.org [mailto:netfilter-bounces@lists.netfilter.org] On Behalf Of Bruno = Negr=E3o Sent: Mittwoch, 22. Juni 2005 19:18 To: netfilter@lists.netfilter.org Subject: IBM Dispatcher X iptables AND linux advanced routing Hi guys, I'm reading a documentation regarding high availability of LDAP server, = and this=20 document says it is possible use an IBM network device called IBM = Dispatcher that can automatically divide the bandwidth between two LDAP servers (a master=20 and a slave server (that is a replica of the master)). But further on, = it can=20 route all the LDAP traffic to only one server, if the other server is = down. I know it's possible to implement bandwidth control with linux, but what about=20 the second feature? Does someone know if it's possible to implement the second=20 feature using linux?
