I had looked into it but it looked as if it would not fit the crazy 'requirements' provided. 'we want high availability but only using two servers *for everything* .. i.e. 1 server = appserver + db, for HA we will just add another server and they should automagically find themselves and whatnot ... but o/c it should not cost anything to add HA. ... and they wonder why I am slowly going mad. ;) As time is/was short and slony looked like it would work well enough, I chose it. The problem is, slony does not do the automatic failover thing so I took monit to solve this. -- Jetzt kostenlos herunterladen: Internet Explorer 8 und Mozilla Firefox 3 - sicherer, schneller und einfacher! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/chbrowser -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
