Server setup, 1 free first and then a backup?

Post by djon »

Is it possible to make a setup where I have two servers:

1 is free for the first x GB and afterwards I cannot use it anymore for the rest of the month.
2 is a block account that it should switch to when the free GB's are gone.

If I set 1 as a standard enabled server and 2 as a backup server, will it work? Should I use optional instead for number 1?

#1 should be primary and optional so that it will be tried first
but will be ignored for 10 minutes each time it doesn't respond properly.
This way it won't block the queue when your quota is consumed.
#2 should be a backup to minimize its usage.
