I have an idea what you missed, but I'm not going to guess based on incomplete information. This would require to commute back to trunk setup, which I can not do it anymore but I thank you for the willing to help me.

I would consider this type of reconfiguration a bit dangerous for something that is so critical that you can't even suffer downtime for an OS upgrade. Yes it suffered approximately one hour downtime. It seemed pretty secure to activate trunk, although had no experience with that in the past. I was pretty sure on my skills and that made me to pay. 4.0 is nearly 5 years old - how are your services critical for local infrastructure going to cope when the hardware fails? well, good question. First I took the courage to re-write from scratch all the software with concurrency, distribution, fault tolerance and replication in mind, Many services are self-replicating on secondary machine, so I achieve a decent level of data persistence. All the code I wrote is also commited into a CVS repository which is mirrored on several machines, including the development machine. I don't know how good this setup is but is something. And yes a binary image of the running OS would be great, but I am keep telling myself that nothing wrong could happen.
