Description

Paul Gargan (gliceas@rb) kindly donated this machine to RedBrick during 2007. It initially ran Solaris 10, but we encountered so many problems with this that we gave up and put Debian on it. Debian ran perfectly on the sun4u architecture.

The machine's high availability features (specifically the RSC) and the fair amount of CPU power make it ideal as a services machine.

Services

• DNS
• Eventually, it'll run a number of other secondary services (LDAP, mail, etc).
