take that LDAP query and forward it to either serverB, serverC, or serverD based on availability and resource usage of each server.

DNS round robin is out of the question. We want true failover, high availibilty.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is LVM a good solution?

SLES 8 (2.4.x kernel)

Thanks, Ryan

You meant LVS, not LVM right? If so, LVS has a good reputation, but I don't know if it handles LDAP or not. If you want to consider making serverA a 2-node HA cluster, you could post your question on Linux-HA. SLES supports the Linux-HA infrastructure and SUSE provides one of the main Linux-HA developers. http://www.linux-ha.org/ And I see they even have a link to a 2 year old HA LDAP article: http://linuxjournal.com/article/5505 You can subscribe at http://www.linux-ha.org/contact/ Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
