Re: Syncing iptables [state, was rules] between two servers

I've often wondered about not only synching firewall rules, but synching
the state table in /proc/net/ip_conntrack.  This would be a major hurdle
crossed for firewall clustering.  Synching the rules themselves is
pretty trivial from a scripting point of view.  Synching the state table
on the other hand....

Hi

Is there anyone that know about how I can "sync" iptables rules on two
different servers? The plan is to have (on one of the servers) a
script that automaticly block ip adresses with iptables depending on
different conditions. When that ip adress is blocked I want it to
automaticly be blocked on another server to.
