Hi Guys,

I'm currently preparing a LISTSERV installation and need 
some information regarding system integrity.

Our current deployment scenario is as follows:

Windows 2003.
Two separate servers containing identical installations of 
LISTSERV with one server to act as the Primary, which will 
handle all LISTSERV traffic sitting behind a virtual IP 
address. The other server acts as a “Warm standby.”

Somehow, I need to keep the standby server in sync with 
the Primary so that in the event of the Primary failing, 
we switch to the standby, with potentially little or no 
loss of data.

The issue here is how do we keep the second server up to 
date?

I'm going to write a separate component to copy LISTSERV’s 
file store from the Primary to the Secondary on a regular 
basis, but I wondered if anyone on this discussion list 
has already tackled the same issue, who may be able to 
help.

I have checked the "Moving LISTSERV to a new server" 
document, which contains some useful information, but I 
wanted some opinions/experiences from anyone who might 
have actually done it.

Thanks in advance,
Kev Ward.
