May be you can use additional IP adresses
Hi,
may be a little bit more work to do, but may be better is to you an additional IP Adress and DNS entry. For Server1 and/or Server2.
On Client side, you had never to change some thing. You only need one script on an third PC which is monitoring both servers, and when one server goes down, you will assign this special IP Adress with rsh or whatever on the other up and running system.
With this way, you can also implement a bigger high avaiblity environment.
Here the example:
Server1
eth0 : 192.168.0.1
Server2
eth0: 192.168.0.2
Normaly, Server1 is the main server for your filesystem, so you have an additonal IP Adress on it eth0:0 192.168.0.100 with the DNS name server.
All links are configured to server and not to server1 or server2.
IF the monitoring script detects the server1 is down or not avaible for what reason ever, it connects server2 with rsh or whatever and activated on server2 eth0:0 with the IP adress 192.168.0.100 and DNS name server.
with this way, for the clients nothing will change and everything goes well.
Regards
Alex

ifscheme
IFSCHEME(8) Commands IFSCHEME(8)
NAME
ifscheme - scheme control for network interfaces
SYNOPSIS
ifscheme [-v] [[-s] newscheme]
mapping <interface> script ifscheme-mapping
DESCRIPTION
ifscheme allows you to change network configuraton schemes or query the current scheme. It integrates with the ifup(8) command and inter-
faces(5). For example, you might use this program to configure a "home" scheme and a "work" scheme for a network device on a laptop. When
you move between home and work, a simple command can reconfigure your networking.
If you run the program with no parameters, it will tell what the current network scheme is.
The ifscheme-mapping utility is used to tell the ifup and ifdown utilities about the current scheme.
OPTIONS
-v
--verbose
Run in verbose mode. This is passed in to the ifup and ifdown programs as well.
-l
--list list all schemes available/defined in /etc/network/interfaces.
newscheme
-s newscheme
--scheme newscheme
Change to a new network configuration scheme. When the scheme is changed, network interfaces that were using the old scheme will be
taken down and brought back up to use the new configuration scheme. -s or --scheme are mandatory if newscheme begins with a -.
CONFIGURATION
To make the program do anything useful when a scheme is selected, you must edit /etc/network/interfaces to add a mapping for the interface
(or interfaces) that can be controlled on a per-scheme basis. Suppose you want to control eth0 in this way. You might have an existing eth0
configuraton in there, such as:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
To change this so you can chose between static routing and dhcp, replace it with the following (it helps to ifdown the interface first).
auto eth0
mapping eth0
script ifscheme-mapping
iface eth0-home inet static
address 192.168.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
iface eth0-work inet dhcp
Now if you run "ifscheme home" and ifup the interface, you'll get the eth0-home configuration stanza. If you run "ifscheme work", it will
be changed to the eth0-work stanza. You can add additional stanzas as desired, but the label must always be of the form <hardware inter-
face>-<scheme name>.
If you have a second interface (perhaps a wireless network card on eth1), you can duplicate the above for that interface, changing the eth0
and the configuration details as appropriate, but remember to add an iface stanza for every scheme name for the second interface.
FILES
/etc/network/interfaces
the interfaces definition file
/etc/network/run/scheme
the current scheme
/etc/network/run/ifstate
a record of the current state of the interfaces, managed by ifup and ifdown
BUGS
All schemed interfaces will have the same scheme.
Any schemed interface which does not have an entry for the current scheme and is not configured when the scheme is changed will not be suc-
cessfully configured when it is brought up.
