Interestingly, the heartbeat packages, etc. are not readily available for
RHEL5 , and compiling the needed pieces isn't as straight forward as it
should be. The thing that I like about the cluster suite is the power
fencing. I think that the answer here is to accept the fact that if httpd or
vsftpd dies, I will need to manually move rinetd. It's not like either of
those services die very often, so the likelyhood of one of them dropping
without the system itself going down s slim. Also, by accepting the
limitations in the short term, it will allow me to define a more long-term
project of investigating more robust clustering solutions, and some of these
things at the network layer with load balencer.

C-Ya,
Kenny
