Feature request ? Hack ?

Hi !

Ive 2 SMTP Servers behind my ASL box, i want to secure that by making a Load Balancing on the ASL SMTP Proxy rule:

Internet
|
ASL SMTP Proxy
|
|_ SMTP1
|
|_ SMTP2

Can someone now if it's possible to do that by the WebMin ? or maybe hacking configurations files by hand ...

Thanks.

What happens if you put 2 entries for the same domain (1 for each INT server)?

Sorry, I have to ask: do you have two external IPs?

If you do, you can make two MX records for your domain with equal preferences...

No i don't have tow external addresses so i can't put 2 different mx entries. I'm looking for a load balancing like NAT Load balancing, but for SMTP Internals servers ...

All I can do is point you in the direction; this gets into Exim guru stuff:

interface

So the configuration file in the Exim jail would need its interface disabled, for openers.

P.S. That configuration file would very likely get updated; so whatever you do should take that into account (that it will be resilient and autonomous enough to tolerate an update...)
