Redundancy Support in Router |
|
|
Hello all,
I am currently looking at setting up a web server at home. Nothing
major, mostly just to play around with. Eventually, though, I would
like to have two servers (for redundancy purposes). My current router
is dying and I would like to replace it with something that supports my
future plans. Right now my router only allows a port to be fowarded to
one ip address on the network. Is there a router that can forward to
an ip address and, if it fails, it can forward to a second ip address?
I'm looking for an affordable solution, which may not be possible, but
I'm not entirely sure what I need to get.
Thanks for your help.

This is not the right group for your question.
But as you are already here. Let your servers talk VRRP/CARP/HSRP to
your router. That way the *service* is always available under one IP as
long a one server is operational.

Thank you for your reply.
I have two questions for you:
1) Do I need a router to support these protocols? Or is this something
that the web servers will 'hide' from the router? I have been
searching for routers that support CARP (apparently the least expensive
(free) of the three) and I can't find anything.
2) Sorry for posting in the wrong group. For future questions, what
group would this fit into?
Thanks again for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

Not only from the router but also from any other device.

Actually if you use OpenBGPD it's most likely that you will use CARP.
All Hardware Routers will use VRRP (or HSRP).

Most likely comp.protocols.tcp-ip.
Ethernet can carry many different protocols, and this newsgroup is about
ethernet. Also, TCP/IP can be carried by many layer 2 protocols other
than ethernet.
