Thanks Conor, yes that sounds like exactly what I need. Could you please give me some rough pointers to go about this? Not the fine grained detail but pointers to the next level of detail in Heartbeat required to implement this? For rsync I would probably set-up an ssh tunnel so making the active know something about the passive is gonna be unavoidable I guess. I have set-up master-master MySQL replication between them so all the essential app data is pretty much known to both. I was thinking of eventually moving the Basic Auth user/password data into MySQL somehow, this would be the ideal solution as the data is being replicated. Anyone done that and if so what software was used? Cheers!
