Roberto,
> Oh, interesting. Do you have a physical network sketch?
No. But I'm sure its something like this: (pardon the bad ascii)
----------
switch
----------

----------------------------------------

[server1] [server2] [server3] [server4] [serverX]
I'm sure we share a rack with 23 servers and I bet each server has its
own 1/2 of a /24 block. We have 15 servers with this company and each
server has 1/2 the block. And I agree, completely unnecessary.

Oh. I was just sending the network setup stuff that our hosting
provider did on these machines to show the subnetting.

Well, I asked and they said no. They said once the servers are
provisioned they can't make changes to the network. But if these servers
are indeed on the same switch, can't I do the changes myself?
I presume you haven't change much of the configuration I've proposed
earlier, so why does it work nevertheless now? Or did I misinterpret
your email?
Sorry. I should have stated that I changed slave #1 to your suggestion:
RIP = eth1 72.52.166.41/27
VIP = lo:35 72.52.166.35/32
DGW = eth1 72.52.166.33
I think later today I'm going to try TUN since I'll have to deal with
the wierd VLAN setup our hosting company does. Is the best doc the
mini-HOWTO?
Thanks,
Matthew
