That's indeed a good news - as it happens I have quite a few fxp on the shelves here... Another issue: I was recently involved in a project which required HA solutions (that's why I asked]. I gathered a lot of ideas and materials (and perhaps some code if that company agrees to release it). Is ther someone else here who is interested in these issues, and using FreeBSD for that? We could start some info pages, howto's, and perhaps a mailing list...
