I can't say I've seen great results from hand-crafted reinventions of the clustering wheel. If clustering is what you need, then I suggest considering how much you value your data, and spend accordingly on a workable solution. Just my suggestion, though. If you are certain that you don't want a full clustering solution, there might be an alternative. I don't know what happened with it after the diaspora, but there was an OpenSolaris VRRP project that was intended for just this sort of individual service fail-over configuration. Even though the first "R" in that abbreviation stands for "router," the designers in that project intended to make it work primarily with things other than routing protocols. http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+vrrp/ Maybe you can find some pointers related to that ... -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
