what's your time line? replication at application level would be best, but the 2.3 series is quite young. we have an old installation, so we're using LVS (2 directors in active/active) in front of Perdition (2 frontends) in front of 16 Cyrus instances running on three nodes sharing a SAN. the cluster software handling the three nodes is HP ServiceGuard. these days, Murder is the way to go, IMHO. but I don't have production experience with it myself. -- Kjetil T. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
