I think there was a group working on advanced router code (like BGP, OSPF, etc...) that had a working VRRP implementation on linux, but I can't remember the name of the group/project doing it right now. If you haven't seen VRRP, it's similar to HSRP and only burns two IP's instead of three. One machine is master, the other slave, and if master disappears, slave takes over his MAC address. -- Nate Duehr <nate@natetech.com> GPG Key fingerprint = DCAF 2B9D CC9B 96FA 7A6D AAF4 2D61 77C5 7ECE C1D2 Public Key available upon request, or at wwwkeys.pgp.net and others.
