heartbeat is ancient. They want to replace it with keepalived. > with CARP and some monitoring software? Or have I misunderstood it's > purpose? All heartbeat does is having one virtual IP on the live server. In case of failure, a script runs which takes up the IP on the secondary, while some arp faking is done to update the arp tables. You can then also start services in the heartbeat script. I'd give CARP/ifstatd a try. It will always do at least what heartbeat does for you and even more (if you want) and much faster. If you have to use linux for some reason, you can try UCARP (or keepalived). -- Stephan A.
