So I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, or if this is even a remotely good idea.
What I would like to do is setup in my firewall a load balanced rule for ssh sessions and have my firewall proxy out the ssh session. I can do sticky sessions with this so I'm not worried about the user migrating to another host. I mainly just want this for when I'm doing maintenance on one server then my users can still ssh in.
Do I just need to build out a new server and give it the same hostname as the existing one? Then just copy over the /etc/passwd, groups, shadow and the ssh keys? to the new box and rsync the /home from old to new? Thank you in advance for your help with this, I know this is an odd request and I'm not even sure if its possible or if there is a sort of cluster setting for ssh. I looked at sshcluster but that is not what I'm looking to do. Thanks.
