Install howto for debian sarge (3.1): http://openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=docs2/1.2/debian/INSTALL.html (really good explanation about howto progress after mastersetup - suggest following this after the below link to setup openssi on etch)

Install howto for debian etch: http://www.atlantech.com/%7Ejohn/openssi-etch/Howto.html

There are 2 ways to setup a master distribution load:

• SMP

- Which will try to fill up a load on one node and then relay to the others - all nodes are simply seen as another CPU and for the system it thinks it's just one huge singular system. This will accept and return queries/data from the same ip.

• IP server

- This distrubutes loads according to the scheduler chosen and thus try to distribute load evenly across all nodes. This will receive on a seperate IP specified in cvip.conf and return data directly from the nodes (unless NAT is choosing as routing)

SMP setup

• /cluster/etc/loadlevellist

Must have all the seperate instances of applications which has to run independently - ie clamav and amavisd-new if it's a mailscanner cluster:

/usr/bin/clamd
/usr/bin/amavisd

IP server (ip loadbalancing)

• /etc/cvip.conf template

<?xml version="1.0"?>

        <cvip>
                <ip_addr>172.22.0.21</ip_addr>

                        </service>
                </real_server_node>
