Re: High availability

Lots of solutions here - but all require brainpower, not packages.

You're after load balancing and redundancy:

Write a script to test the application on the backend boxes and if
one server fails, removes that IP from the load-balanced NAT rule.
Run this script on a pair of OpenBSD boxes, and assuming PFsyncd can
sync NAT state, running the VRRP package or dynamic routing would
get you HA.

Anyone think this won't work?

Subject: High availability

Is there a high availability solution for openbsd? I am needing to setup

a cluster of servers, i would like the HA solution to provide load 
balancing so all the servers can be used concurrently and of coarse fail

over master / slave etc...  I found the  HUT project but its HA daemons 
freevrrp and loadd only run on freebsd.

Thanks in advance
