Hi

I have a question to mod_backhand (or Wackamole?).

Mod_backhand manages that all virtual IP=B4s are attached to a running =
server. When one server fails a other takes over the IP.

In my case I have 2 NICs in the front-servers (2 front, 2 back) attached =
to diverent LANs (2 ISPs).
Each-Frontserver should only listen to one of the 2 ISP=B4s, if one =
machine crashes the alive machine should take over the IP to it=B4s =
second NIC.

Is that possible? I read that all works only with one network. Are the =
any docs about this? or perhaps a workaround?

Thanks

Nicolas

Your question is about wackamole... and you should ask about it on the
wackamole user list instead of here.

The CVS version (available for download) will manage this just fine.
However, bring up and down routes needs to be addressed (not hard).
