Thanks Horms, Matthew, Peter and Malcolm for your help. I've certainly
learned a lot more about LVS in the past few days.
As I mentioned in my initial post, this is for a bid. At this point I am
happy knowing that we can do it - albeit perhaps not with an 'out of the
box' solution.
Our base bid is an LVS with direct routing hosted by a multihomed ISP.
This reliable option would protect against everything except a major
common fault (e.g building fire or other major disruption). As an option
for increased reliability, they can choose our geographically dispersed,
multi-homed, 100% redundant solution (at a price to be discussed!).
The bid goes in on Monday and we should hear back sometime in the New
Year.
Thanks again for all your input.
David

Routing LVS

It probably needs a bit of TLC but it is pretty simple so should work
without too much bother. I'd be quite happy to work with someone to make
this so. I'm using it myself on a very small (experimental) site wihtout
too much bother. I also have a patch to make it work with bind9 that
I'm happy to send anyone who is interested.
