This is also now possible with RedHat Advanced Server - using shared
storage??? So will it run in a load balanced manner there??
Presumably if it runs on a Tru64 cluster (which we have many of), it will
run on a number of servers sharing file systems via NFS??
Thoughts??

Create a file in the locking directory:

If you are running two separate systems then you don't want to copy the
follow directories under ~mailman/:
data - where moderated messages are held
locks - where the locking files are created
logs - the local logs for the running Mailman system
qfiles - queued up messages waiting to g
Not so much of performance that will be a problem, but more of a
availability issue. Yes, would be fun to try...
How about Ian's original idea, about keeping certain directories in sync??
Which directories would that have to be, and can a straight 'cp -R' acheive
the syncing??

If you actually have individual databases driving each install (as
opposed to a shared database via NFS or some other tool), then you could
easily setup some scripts to keep the databases in sync. You could use
the log files as your trigger, or even simple periodic diffs of each
individual databas
I would worry about locking on the databases. Mailman handles this via
a lock file in a common directory, so it should work even in
active-active, but you would still only have one mailman process able to
run on a list at one time. In other words, I don't think you would get
much better performan

Thanks for the reply. However this doesn't really answer my origional
question - how do you keep the subscription information in sync across
the multiple servers?
Thanks!
Bye for Now,
Ian
How about ACTIVE-ACTIVE sharing the same installation via an NFS mount (or
possibly shared storage in a cluster)?

There are several ways to set this up. Here are two examples that I've
done:
- Front end the servers with an LVS cluster and run the servers in your
DMZ. The LVS cluster acts as a firewall and connects a user to an
active internal server (one of many in its list) based on either an ip
