I am Andrew Sporner and I have authored a H/A Failover system that happens to work with BSD. I would like to contribute this to the FreeBSD project or at a minimum make it available to those who want it. What it includes is: - Multi-path heartbeat based node failure detection. - Application failover. - Applications can be assigned to two or many nodes in the cluster. If the current node that the application runs on fails, the next successor picks up the application. - Drag&Drop administration interface (X-11 tcl/tk based The current state is alpha and is being tested by several people now. Beta will occur in about a week or so. The current source is located at http://www.sporner.com/bsdclusters Please let me know what I should do... Thanks very much in advance. Respectfully, Andy Sporner PS. I am not sure how many of you were at BSDCon 2000, but that was some very good talks--especially the BIO talk.
