We have two servers which will be providing a few different services to a 
couple of labs full of PCs.  Primarily, file/print serving + domain 
authentication via samba and an authenticating  squid proxy.  I want to 
provide these servers in a load balanced/redundant failover type 
configuration.  However, I'm unsure as to how best go about it.  In 
particular, I was wanting to have separate copies of the user's home 
directories on each machine.  Is there any way I can have the separate 
copies of the home directories on each machine, but keep them synchronised 
in realtime ?  (I supposed what I really want is for vinum to be able to 
use something like NFS exports as its disks :).
