Hi Dan,

What you want can be done both with failsave and with heartbeat, the =
later
having the advantage of being MUCH easier to install.

Also, I'd suggest doing things slightly differently from your =
specification:

 - give each node a node IP address. The node retains this address at =
all
times, it is NEVER moved/migrated by the cluster manager. This IP is =
just for
management purposes and to make configuration easier - it's the default =
setup
for both failsafe and heartbeat. No public services use this address.

 - give each node an additional high availability IP address. these =
addresses
are manageged by the cluster manager (i.e moved to the remaining node in =
case
of a failure). All services the node provides use these addresses.

Bye, Martin
