I am in a situation where I am managing two Gentoo servers one of which |
| 2 |
is the mirror of the other. I wish to mirror the two servers such that |
| 3 |
one can be used as a replacement almost instantly if the other fails. |
| 4 |
These servers are NOT available parallelly, its one or the other. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I face two ongoing issues with maintaining the two servers, and was |
| 7 |
wodnering if there is any way to automate these. |

Issue 1: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Whenever I emerge a package on the primary server, I have to manually do |
| 12 |
the same on the backup server, sometimes if its a problem fix or I have |
| 13 |
added a new feature in, I have to do the job over twice. Is there way |
| 14 |
that I can tell emerge to sync the portage from another machine and thus |
| 15 |
the two machines will have same packages installed. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Issue 2: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Since these are production servers the configuration does not change |
| 20 |
much but there are somethings such as Apache vhosts that change all the |
| 21 |
time. I thought of an rsync based solution for syncing the configuration |
| 22 |
files but the files are all over place, resulting in too many rsync |
| 23 |
modules or executions |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Has anyone dealt with this situation before? I would appreciate any |
| 26 |
thoughts on the issues and where I could try and find a solution to fix |
| 27 |
these situations. |

Thanks in advance for your time. |
