hi Mike, You donot need pfsync in this setup since you don't filter on these machines. Said that you have covered the MySQL side all you need is a simple carp set up and something like rsync or unison to keep your webservers' files in Sync :-) http://www.openbsd.org/3.7_packages/i386/rsync-2.6.3.tgz-long.html http://www.openbsd.org/3.7_packages/i386/unison-2.9.1.tgz-long.html good luck Siju > Thanks in advance, > > Mike
