openmosix is more secure than plain old IP, given its custom marked packets (or something keen like that) and is well suited to LAMP which can occasionally expect a cgi process to take a dump or hang or freeze, upon the loss of a node holding its virtual process. open source databases have lousy replicatoin, or at least did when i was undertaking this. its unlikely the IO-bound processes will migrate, but the linked-list traversals deservedly take a hike(ie migrate) when the app design falls short. so the question of how to begin locking down packages, etc for HA, that's where staging and testing plans are of key importance. this is where my own syadmin handywork started with a cloning system: the mothership on one side, and a rescue disc, gig-e hub, and a nc/gnutar combo to clone and stage mutations/development. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
