I imagined this is part of the magic of lo. I thought about looking for the thing i wanted, but at that point the tunneling possibility was nagging at me so I went that way. so how do you do this step ? something with iproute perhaps ? > - setup OSPF (e.g. from www.quagga.net) to manage the routes between the > two boxes (including the extra lo interfaces). > > OSPF will always find a route, if one exists, between the two drbd > boxes. It will even prefer faster networks over slower ones. cool. I take it you're not aware of a gadget that does the redundant networking thing ?
