We're potentially in the market for some Jackrabbit consulting help.  We're 
currently architecting a site with high-performance/high-availability 
requirements.  In a previous project, we implemented a CMS based on Jackrabbit 
using an Oracle repository operating in clustered mode (version 2.2.1).  
Although it works for the most part, we do see occasional issues in two areas:
1.      A cluster node will stop processing revisions.
2.      Since our administrative application runs on multiple servers for HA, 
we have seen race conditions where cluster nodes may get nodes with different 
state - assume due to normal cluster sync latency and the fact that there's no 
way to get a cluster-wide lock due to JCR-1173.

Although #1 may be fixed in later versions, it appears to be fundamentally 
problematic to try to run CMS applications in separate cluster nodes.  We're 
interested in getting some help with architecting a solution that:
*       Eliminates these problems.
*       Provides for high-availability for applications doing both read/write 
(admin) and read-only access to the repo.

Pointers welcome - thanks.
