Hi there,

There are a number of approaches you can take to
cluster deployment with Linux and a number of pre-
included and other technologies which are applicable.

It all really depends exactly what you are looking to
cluster eg which services? Or are you writing some
data anlysis tool you want to run seamlessly over
a number of systems??

Making a service reside on both servers and be
provided to the client on a round-robin basis for
example is very easily accomplished using in-build
routing and/or DNS technologies.

Provide some more details and I'll see if I can
point you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Dave.

What a deal.

Firstly, methinks it's really hard to form a "cluster" out of two PCs
(because it will _never_ get You near the idea of clustering), second-
ly, I take it as a prerequisite to know what You want to achieve with
this cluster in the first place (depending on that is the direction to
choose).


Happy clustering, Jack.

Well, I built an OpenMosix cluster out of 8 Pentium machines. OpenMosix works
by moving jobs to where they could be best completed. Check it out at
http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/, you can visit the page for my cluster
at http://nuwen.net/~digi/cluster/.
Good luck, I sure had fun.

It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
