Umm... How is that different from what I wrote? I didn't use the
acronyms, but so what? There is no need for either HA or HP clustering
with Prime95, which I illustrated fairly clearly. *I'm* not confused
about cluster architectures at all; I administer both HA and HP cluster
architectures in my own company.

This is *exactly* what I said, with only slightly different words.

So I have to ask, John: Other than illustrating that you've read a
clustering whitepaper once in your life, what was the point of your
message? Don't call me "confused" and then repeat my message in a nearly
verbatim manner!
