Re: Clustering options

[David Barker <D R Barker exeter ac uk>]

I'd second this - we've got RH cluster suite working for some of our web 
servers, and it works a treat.

If you're looking for a smaller two-node cluster, 
http://www.linux-ha.org/ (& http://www.ultramonkey.org/ for RPM's) could 
be a good place to start. The Linux HA project only works with two nodes 
at the moment, but they've got a number of links to various 
presentation's they've done that help explain the basic's behind HA.
