I thought I'd post an update to this old thread. I've gone ahead and installed Linux-HA on a couple linux-vservers. That really is an improvement over our Xen installation as I can host quite a few sites on one physical machine. I have all the same "backupability" that I had with Xen in case a real machine dies. Then, on the real servers, I can run the sites that need more resources on the host os without any virtual server overhead. I wrote all this up in case anyone is interested in seeing what I've put together: http://tinyurl.com/236tpw Thanks all for you much input! -Dennis /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
