I also did some research a while ago and found Wackamole. It looks pretty interesting as you don't need a central "director" server but all servers in the cluster check each other. It's also in the ports tree :-) Site: http://www.backhand.org/wackamole/ Port: /usr/ports/net/wackamole _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
