CARP your way to high availability</a>, |

|
This write-up of OpenBSD's new Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) |
|
covers its origins in Cisco's patent nonsense, then moves on to what |
|
it does: CARP provides sharing |
|
of an IP address among several hosts on the same network to provide |
|
failover and limited load balancing. Gives enough technical |
|
detail to get you started using it. |
|
Quote: "Some of you with highly redundant and fault-tolerant hardware |
|
may think CARP won't help you. Think again... |
|
think of how nice it would be to patch and reboot during normal |
|
business hours instead of at 2 a.m. Think about not having to balance |
|
doing system upgrades against taking an entire building offline. |
|
Think about hot-testing new technologies while knowing that, if |
|
things just don't work out, your old solution is simply a halt away." |
