[SunHELP] IPs route

[Tim Bell]

Mike --
Let me see if I can break this down to you.

> is it possible to have www.mike.com to be 
> 10.10.10.1 (on one card) and 210.10.105.1 
> (on the other card)?   
YES - simplest way is to leave apache at the default 
(Assuming your using apache) config binded to port 80.
Anything trying to reach port 80 via either ip address 
will be served your website (mike.com).

>which IP/network would a user get when attempting
>to get to my machine?
The user will hit whatever is served up by a revolver. If you
set mike.com in a DNS round-robin the user will get either 
or IP (although I have found that they most likely get the first 
IP listed in the DNS round-robin). If one of those IP's fail,
50-50 results will occur when people try to reach your site. 
And as Mr Chase has mentioned - "In your case they'd get whichever 
IP their dns server resolved to, which you might not have much 
control over, due to intermediate servers along the way caching 
the results." If your confidant that these DSL and cable connections are
reliable, continue - if not, I would think twice about your whole
scheme.
If you would like I can host your site for $50 bucks and a six pack (per
year)(dns hosting, pop3/imap email, ftp access, yadda, yadda, yadda) as
long as it's not a porn site (SSL would be extra). I own part of a small
hosting company -- that's how I can offer it so cheap.

> PS - do I also need to do anything special on the Solaris box?
> /etc/defaultrouter or such? containing two gateways?

Add the route to your system's routing table.

Timmy!
p.s. wish me luck - moving back to Cali today to start a new
position (so-long dotcoms, hello b2g).
