Hi. I want to share my experiences about HA in FreeBSD. We haven't much choice in FreeBSD for clustering. I have read about Sporner's (http://sporner.dyndns.org/freebsdclusters/ ) project a few days ago but didn't set it up. It seems promising but I think it lacks file replication? And I really want to hear from him about maturity level of his product. I have installed polyserve's (www.polyserve.com) clustering software for FreeBSD. It does nice on HA and File replication. I can suggest it but it is commercial product. Michael I think you need to learn clustering terms. You may want to look at www.linuxvirtualserver.org and www.ultramonkey.org. Especially ultramonkey has nice pictures that depicts everything. Ultramonkey is a part of vanessa project and vannessa also includes super sparrow (which is a global HA solution that uses BGP for the nearest route). Anyway go and look at the pictures at ultramonkey. There is also linux-ha.org project that is being or was ported ( I don't know the maturity level of it) to FreeBSD. I think that project is very good for HA @ FreeBSD. Someone mentioned VRRP. There is also vrrp implementation in FreeBSD which named freevrrpd (/usr/ports/net/freevrrpd). To conclude Linux is better in clustering solutions we have to admit it :( despite FreeBSD is better in networking (my personal thoughts). PS: I think we can set up a FreeBSD Clustering page just like www.lcic.org does which provides information articles .... I can arrange a web page, ftp, cvs for it.
