Hi all,
I'm moving to a new server hosted at m5 and I'm ready to pull the
trigger on making the switch.
In the past doing this sort of move I've run into dns update
delays--even with the ttl on my dns set to 300, there is a lot of e-mail
especially that continues to attempt to deliver to the old server long
after the dns update has taken place.
It seems like I should be able to use pf to redirect all inbound traffic
except ssh to the new server. I tried redirecting web traffic as a test
with the following rule in pf.conf:
#pass all non-ssl web traffic to luna
pass in quick proto tcp to port www rdr-to luna.openvistas.net port 80
but that doesn't work--the connection never completes. httpd is for
sure working on the new server--I've been using an /etc/hosts file to
test from my home Mac and the web sites all work fine.
This morning it occurred to me that this could probably be done better
with relayd. I read (and re-read) the relayd man pages but I'll be the
first to admit that this sort of networking is not my cup of tea and I
really don't want to botch this.
Would relayd be the correct solution to redirect all traffic except ssh
to my new server? If so, a clue-by-four as to what to put in
relayd.conf would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff Ross
