The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jeff Abbott <address@concealed>]

Folks,

We're looking to improve the availability of our Sympa system here at 
Duke, to hopefully prevent the risk of having a single point of failure 
as we do now, with one machine on one network in one data center running 
the service.  It looks like running a hot/cold failover system would be 
simple enough, with a load balancer routing mail appropriately and each 
system being aware of all the lists.  I don't know how well archives 
would work with such a setup, though, unless we were doing some sort of 
shared storage (e.g. NFS), which introduces its own set of problems.

I'm wondering if anyone has solved this problem, or has any pointers for 
me that might help.  I'm sure there are issues that haven't yet occurred 
to me.

Thanks,
Jeff
