hi ya

how about either or any of...
	beowulf...
	resonate...  ( commercial prg and expensive )
	valinux...
	round-robin-DNS
	forgot the other pkg...
	..other cluster mangers ...

- am insterested too in...
	- if system21 fails...( simulate it with pull the power plug )
	what happens..

	- how to keep "data syncrhonized" on the cluster

For real time apps... like credit card processing...probably easier
for the credit card sw to write the transaction info to 3 different 
places before sending the final authorization to the customer ??

For static web pages and other historical sites....that changes
say daily.... a little more work to copy daily changes around ??
	- disks that crash in the middle of editing/updating the new data

c ya
