Hi,

Yes Eddy I totally agree with you. I don't want to use conntrackd in order
to avoid ssh sessions crash, I hoped there were another way to achieve it...
but I don't have much hope.

And Rob, I am sorry I don't get your point. You want me to have two VM and
switch from one to another when a fail occurs? If yes, how could I keep my
sessions running?

And finally, has somebody already setup conntrackd over heartbeat? I need
help :)

Thanks all.
