Hi,

I too have searchd (apparently in vain) for ways to do this sort of thing
under FreeBSD. If you want to try Linux, there's a myriad of ways. For a
start see the www.linux-ha.org. SGI are porting their HA s/w to Linux.
There's "heartbeat". There are several types of remote mirroring using
"network block devices".

As far as I can see, FreeBSD has none of these. :-(

All the "clustering" software around seems to be aimed at parallel
processing applications. Of course, I could be wrong, it has happened once
before. :-) For FreeBSD I would be more than happy to be proved wrong. I
would much rather use it than Linux. However one must use what's
available.

Colin
