RE: [Nolug] Quick question on clustering...

I was referring to a DB or web cluster. It's two Proliant 1600 with FC
Cards, External storage and Fibre hubs. I just haven't been able to play it
yet to get the FC stuff working. (I don't even have an OS loaded yet.)
Anyway it's available.

I think we're really talking about a network load balancing cluster as
opposed to a beowulf type Linux cluster. The latter shares processor
resources across multiple boxes.

There's a whole lot of ways to do the former. Dustin identified LVS
(Linux Virtual Services) which might be an appropriate topic for a
presentation. I imagine you could simulate the scenario on a private
network. In the "real world" you'll need a public IP pool and a DNS
domain.
