Hello, I'm beginning to give up on making Linux-HA's heartbeat work for my environment (CentOS x86_64) and am wondering what other option have I got to help me: 1. Use IPVS to maintain a cluster of servers serving virtual IP, either master/slave or load-balanced. 2. Use DRBD in master/slave fashion to keep a home-grown application highly-available.
The first thing I stumbled upon is RedHat Cluster Suite ( http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/centos_linux_guides/centos_cluster_configuration_and_management/), from which I also saw some packages on my CentOS servers. I've never heard of it before and am just starting to dig its docs, but if someone here can confirm/deny that this is a possible route to take it might save me some time or doubts. Thanks, --Amos
