Hello,
I am attempting to setup the following scenario. I have two servers, Server1 & Server2, both have their own public IP address.
I want to configure them as such, that if Server1 gets knocked out, then Server2 will take over sending/receiving mail for my LAN clients (All using WinXP with either Outlook 2003 or Outlook Express). Ideally I would like to have it as such that there would be a seamless transfer of control, without any modification to the LAN clients. Each server is running Bind 9 as well (Server1 = Primary, Server2 = Slave). Below is a rough picture to help visualize what I mean.

I would prefer to use Sendmail for the MTA in this scenario, at least until I learn more about how to use Postfix effectively.
Thankyou for any help/tips/suggestions.
