[c-nsp] IOS device failover

[Tim Devries]

The problem is that this is a DB server and we want to avoid SQL replication
(and all the attendant issues this creates).  So therefore I don't actually
want to load balance, I just want the server to be available if the other
fails.  In CSS terms this is called a sorryserver, but a cursory review of
this document doesn't show any similar capability (that I could find).

I'll keep reading.

Thanks,

Tim

Gert/Tim,

There's always IOS server load balancing, depending on the platform and
IOS...
