Yes I would be interested to see what products you are currently using to 
achieve this. In my proposed setup we are actually completely database 
transaction driven. The problem is the people higher up want active database 
<-> database replication which will be problematic I know.

Outside of the data side of the equation, how tolerant is the cluster 
network/heartbeat to latency assuming no packet loss? Or more to the point, at 
what point does everyone in their past experience see the heartbeat network 
become unreliable, latency wise. E.g. anything over 30ms?

Most of my experiences with rhcs and linux-ha have always been with the cluster 
network being within the same LAN :(

Usually the concepts are the same. What solution are you using? How
does it work, replication or real cluster?

Does LVM mirroring work with clustered LVM?
