Thanks Vince,
Your mail gave me the clue I was looking for. The Perl scripts are
provided as an example. The example given was to keep several web
servers in sync. My application is a lot simpler. I do not need to keep
the configuration files synced.
Essentially, all I am looking to do is sync say /home/share on NodeA
with NodeB when NodeA is serving the cluster IP and reverse the sync
when NodeB is serving the IP. It looks like all! I need to do is check
which Node is serving the IP and stop or run rsync based on this.
Thinking about it all I really need to do is start rsyncd running on the
node serving the IP. The non serving Node can then run rsync as a cron
job and vice versa.
