[OpenAFS] Re: heartbeat and OpenAFS

[Marc Schmitt]

Hi Brent,

I assume your're using /usr/afs/local/NetInfo and 
/usr/afs/local/NetRestrict to restrict the IP address to the failover IP 
and use the heartbeat IPsrcaddr resource script to make packets appear 
from the failover IP and not from the *real* IP of the HA servers?
