Bwhaahhhahahahah. Sorry, trying poorly to do my best demi-god imitation. Anyway, there is a list [EMAIL PROTECTED] that deals with piranha. Be advised that Red Hat may not be supporting it as they are moving to their new cluster manager on their Red Hat Advanced Server. It does indeed handle load balancing, but if you want failover, you will need the patched piranha by Sebastien Bonnet in order to handle scripts in failover testing. (Scripts are available under lvs). I had submitted the patches to Red Hat, but have not heard anything from their people, so I guess for them it is a dead horse. Its really too bad since it is a simple program that works well. Ed Croft, RHCE -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
