As I understand it, heartbeat is the server equivalent of Hot-standby Router Protocol whereby machines send a notification to one another at Layer 2 to show they are alive (or not if there is no message), letting the other server know it has to take over the work of the first, down server upon failure. The following URLs should disprove this; http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/ The Parallel Virtual Machine is nothing more than a software package that makes setting up a Cluster simple. The source code is freely available, and will run on FreeBSD without much problem. http://cubix.desy.de/General/bsd/bsd.html http://acme.ecn.purdue.edu/ Advanced Computer Matrix for Engineering (ACME) which runs the FreeBSD Operating System. http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/workshops/Talks/Mikler/mikler.html http://www.scope.gmd.de/info/www6/technical/paper196/paper196.htmlNetBSD for Clusers! http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/~milind/MediaServers.html http://daily.daemonnews.org/view_story.php3?story_id=3D964 Daemon News Posting, quick talk about Clustering http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/Projects/ClusterCookbook/index.html In addition to this, Tom Rhodes is currently writing an article designed to walk a user through setting up a Parallel Computing environment using FreeBSD and other utilities. Keep an eye out for this article in late 2002 early 2003. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
