1. all systems must have the same Ubuntu release. 2. on all systems, the stick needs to be mounted on the same directory 3. build apache with a apache root directory that is located on the mounted stick. Make sure that nothing escapes you (conf location etc) That should do the trick.
I have done a similar thing in AIX, where I installed apache in a VG apart from rootvg that is shared between primary and backup server. Kurt Bremser AMOS Austria Newton was wrong.
