There will be some brief outages tonight both with the site and userlame.net in general as I move to a new network. I hope to minimize any downtime and I will try to make the failover work into the new environment.

Then I'm gonna have to rewrite that thing. Sigh. Here goes!

Here comes the moment of truth...

5-15 minute rewrite of net up/down script
5-15 firewall configs
network server reboot new kernel in new network. yikes!

same crap for other server
reboot and same with the yikesing!

And you'll notice how I haven't posted since.

I had a few....missteps along the way. That and being out of town for a few days.

Back up and kicking now, then to move the other server over (that's the easy one now).

On an upswing, I've found that by simply naming the dot1q interfaces the way I want, I can keep almost the entire old failover stuff. That's pretty nice.

Final move is complete. Things are finally up and running the way they should be. phewwwwwwwwww that was a mess. I feel god-awful today as well so that hasn't helped.

Please please please notify me of any issues with the site/mail/anything.

I hope I'm mostly done.
