Great idea. That was it. I turned off ident in sendmail and things worked
fine.
However, I don't want to turn of ident in sendmail, and I figure other
things might want ident too... so I want to cluster ident.
Clustering ident didn't help. I clustered tcp port 113 to both servers. (I
even tried "loadbalancing" 25 and 113 just to ONE server -- that way it'd
always hit the same server)... And that didn't work. I got the same
results -- telnet to port 25... connect... thirty seconds... and then
sendmail would enter command mode.
Any ideas? Do I have to loadbalance anything else besides tcp 113 for identd
to work?
All the best --
