Hello everyone, A month or two down the line, we are hoping to have our PeopleSoft Student Information System write directly to our LDAP directory. As such, the question of "why are we using OpenLDAP if it can't do multi-master" is cropping up from my superiors. As OpenLDAP does not support multi-master (for good reason, I think), I was wanting to try to figure out a way to setup a failover master and was wondering if anyone has done work in this area? As it would work in my head, M1 would replicate to M2 and all the slaves. A heartbeat on M2 would monitory to make sure M1 was active. If M1 goes down, M2 would rewrite its config to replicate to M1 and the slaves and would take over as the master server. Anyone given thought to this sort of setup? I've never had my master server fail but I need to appease the naysayers. :) -- DK -- Digant C Kasundra Enterprise Operations and Systems Office of Information Technology University of Texas at Arlington Ph: 817-272-2208 GnuPG Public Key: http://omega.uta.edu/~digant/digant.gpg.asc To request technical support, please contact our computing Help Desk at 817-272-2208, e-mail helpdesk@uta.edu or create a work order at https://eservices.uta.edu/oitforms/workorder.html
