Thanks,

One more Question: the only way I was able to get autosupport to work when I set these filers up was to have an entry in the /etc/hosts file looking something like this....

192.168.1.16 SMTP-A mailhost

So, to use multiple smtp hosts, would I need to have entries like....

192.168.1.16    SMTP-A     mailhost
192.168.1.17    SMTP-B     mailhost
192.168.1.18    SMTP-C     mailhost
192.168.1.19    SMTP-D     mailhost

Thanks again,

--Walter

    I have NetApp Filers from Chicago to South Carolina and I use 
Autosupport to keep track of the health and happiness of each one.  They 
all have multiple SMTP servers on their local LAN.

   1. Can I configure the Filers to use multiple SMTP gateways (e.g. if
      SMTP-A fails, try SMTP-B.  If SMTP-B fails try SMTP-C... etc.)?
   2. If this CAN be done, how do I configure the Filers to do this?


options autosupport.mailhost SMTP-A,SMTP-B,SMTP-C

The na_options(1) man page says there can be up to five hosts in the
comma-separated list. I have used it successfully with three.
