As far as solutions go, yes, there are some available. There is a commercial product - PolyServe's Local Cluster stuff, and their high availability stuff is all supposed to be reasonable. There is also a shedload of free solutions, at least one of which was mentioned on one of the 20-odd lists I'm on at the moment that is built on PicoBSD. I can't find the docs on that atm, but if I do, I'll send them on. > I recently worked with Linux and LVS (on a Red Hat High Availability > Service cluster), and that type of setup would be ideal.

This is a quiet list, and most people here tend to be running their insane pieces of code over something like PVM or some-such - i.e. large scientific applications that need parallelism rather than HA/Load balancing. -- Paul Robinson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
