Connecting two different network segments with the same IP range

Bredy — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 07:42:41 GMT

Hallo,
we have a copy of our key systems running in a separate network but with the same network settings. Is possible with iptables or something else connect these networks together (using virtual segments with network translation) using one PC ? I can handle it with two PCs.

I'll suggest to change IP of your second system and use LVS or another cluster solution for automatic failover.

Rgds,

It would be possible by simply splitting your subnet e.g. if one host was 192.168.0.1 and the second was 192.168.0.64 simply subnet your interfaces as 255.255.255.192.

If the rest of your hosts use 255.255.255.0 they could see both interfaces.
