Hi,

here is some blurb from another company that does High Availability
software for Linux:

-------------------------------8<-------------------------------------------
We're currently in beta-test with a product that does IP alias fail-over
on Linux (also Solaris and NT).  Basically: you install our product on a
couple servers on the same subnet; daemons run on both that monitor the
health both at an OS and application level of one or more IP aliases; and
in the event of hardware/OS/application failure, the IP alias is moved
from primary to backup.  Both machines can do other things as well and, in
fact, each can back up the other.  Our initial product only handles
clusters of two servers; of course, you can have multiple pairs of
machines in separate clusters.  The initial product also doesn't handle
replicating data; you have to do that yourself.


Regards
