<p>I'm trying to provide some HA/redundancy to my application by mandating that all nodes in the cluster, running this application should have multiple NICs, each NIC connected to a completely different network (e.g. NIC1 on network 10.1.3.*, NIC2 on network 172.16.1.*). This way, if one of the networks go up in flames, there are redundant networks available to route application traffic. <br>
</p><p><b><u>Questions: </u></b></p><p>1. Does Spread support this kind of network failover configuration? <br></p><p>2. In the case of a network fault (e.g. bad NIC, bad router), is there a way to configure Spread so that it will failover communications to a working interface on a given node? <br>
</p><p>3. Given the following network configuration, would all Spread nodes be able to see each other:</p></span><blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">

</ul>Or is it a requirement that each Spread node should be reachable through the network from all other Spread nodes? <br></span><blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">
