Re: ha with file server

I've pondered this type of solution, and when funds are available I plan it as
such:

Storage would be: SAN Based, LUN is write only for MASTER server, READ for
real servers.

I used fairly inexpensive machines for the LVS portion. DELL's low end suits
it fine.. PE350

Although I use fairly large machines for the web farm (PE6650), for file
serving I'd probably use something a bit smaller. This depends on your use,
for if you want to do CIFS (windows shares), you may want t couple of 4-proc
boxes as real servers... Samba is quite CPU intensive...

Anyhow.. Hope it helps a bit...
