We check the replication using Netsaint and both systems are an exact copy, at worst of 5 minutes ago. We stopped at the point of implementing some sort of STONITH, so no ip/service takeover yet.. considered how MySQL replication is crippled and unreliable (IMHO), this should not be done automagically anyway (or you have to provide really extensive workarounds and integrity checking). -- Jan Kokoska Linux Administrator ========================================= GLOBE INTERNET, s.r.o. - http://globe.cz ========================================= Planickova 1, 162 00 Praha 6 mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +420 235 365 302 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
