Thank you Robert for your encouragement. I like being YELLED at and called an idiot as much as the next guy, but sometimes a word of encouragement also helps. DRDB for linux is similar to the GAIM/ memory device suggestion for *BSD (which I also said I have not tried yet). I would suspect for critical areas, maybe splitting the DB's into critical and non-critical with critical DB on DRDB or GAIM. (if someone has done DRDB/ SA/Maia maybe it should be added to the Wiki/and/or FAQ) I have no ax to grind, I am not trying to make money on sharing my results, I was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that that was what GPL/APACHE2 license software support was all about. Sharing both successes and failures. If we didn't experiment (and fail) and share this information, than nothing would have ever moved forward, except in secret, patentended, copyrighted labs. If there are major areas of concern (other than a generic 'don't listen to anyone who even talks about it) then it never will move forward.
