Search Again: IP multihoming advice needed From: Gabriele Polidori Date: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 Time: 11:21:45 am Hello :) sorry for the crossposting, but I need answers from all the 3 lists. This week I'm going to add some domains to my Mac servers, and I need some suggestions. I'm using 1 Performa 6400 (MacOS 9.1, QuickDNS 3, EIMS 3.0.3) and 1 8550/200 (Web* 4.4) First of all, I don't understand if there are performance issues using IP multihoming vs single IP for every domain. What I'd like to do is to reserve single IP for important domains, while grouping less important ones with multihoming. I did understand that EIMS need the client to send the full domain to connect to the right account, but are there any other important things to take care, involving DNS or e-mail ? Before I start moving domains from other servers, please give me any suggestions that could help me in this task. Also, what can be the right Mac for hosting about 100/110 domains (low traffic about 4/5 Gb/month) ? now they're hosted on a very stable Cobalt Raq III server (which is a very good machine, with a nice graphical web interface for admin tasks). Thank you, Gabriele Polidori NB: please reply privately as I'm on the digest! -- OneNET Group - Servizi Internet via San Francesco 28/c 34133 Trieste - Italy Tel: +39 040 771190 Fax: +39 040 3726154 http://www.onenet.it/
