No, I understand, that's typical NAT operation with your Director acting as
a router.

What happens if the Director(s) blows up and you, the only person who can
bring a website that thousands depend on to do their work back up, is 10hrs away from the office? That's my situation, and I need to be able to access the individual machines from their public IP address via ssh no matter where
I am, or if an individual machine or machines is down.  Well, except the
router, if that's down, oh well ;)

I'm in another city too. Serial console server's are my friends. :)


If the director has fried, I want to be able to run a little script on one
of the webservers and have it take over the website's ip.  The director is
the old dev db machine which had the hdd fry. 3rd drive to fail in a year,
so it's not that far fetched :-)

Is there an ivs mode (DR or TUN) that either doesn't require a private
network, or that can coexist with a public network?

Thanks,
-Jacob
