Hi Shawn, sorry for the late reply, but the thing called "real world" was about my interests. I also use Veritas Cluster at work (and some others additional too). The main problem with clustering is: Which cluster to you mean? Or, What do you want to accomplish by using a cluster? In the most cases the people don't want a cluster - they want their services up and running. As for web hosting, this would be "trivial" with load-balancing in front of the web farm and a clustered database for all kind of stuff behind it. If you look in the mailing list archive there were links posted to a project for a failover cluster in the first step. I never managed to take better look into it, because of time constraints. Possible the linux hearbeat stuff (and projects similar to it) can be useful too. And some months ago someone comitted a netgraph module to simulate LLT/GAB known to you. But perhaps you could explain a little more about your project - perhaps someone can give to then some better hints about clustering and FreeBSD. Hope it helps Marc
