Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am currently researching on doing high availability and load balancing
with a couple of Linux servers, most specifically doing service
takeover on top of Heartbeat.<br>
<br>
The scenario is:<br>
- 2 DSL lines from a single provider
<br>
- 1 Broadband line from another provider<br>
<br>
Internet<br>

<div id="mb_0"><br>Servers : SRV1, SRV2, SRV3<br>Heartbeat lines: HB1, HB2<br><br>The
aim would be if any line slows down or goes down, the other remaining
server or servers will provide the internet connection automatically.
<br><br>Is the diagram correct and is it possible? or do you have any
suggestions or a better way to approach this? Are there any other components aside from the Linux kernel and
Heartbeat that will be required? Is there a particular Linux kernel
that might be required to do this application?
<br><br> I would certainly appreciate your inputs. I am still very
relatively new to implementing high availability on Linux. I would also
really appreciate it if you can provide steps that might be able to let
me fast track my experimentation. <br><br>Thanks for your help and best regards!</div>
