Re: HA replication of /www directory

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why not just listen on both IP addresses on both systems?  It shouldn't
matter since only one or the other interface would be up the machine.

I would think you'd want the replication in case any changes are made to the
web site.  Here, we dynamically add & remove objects all the time (we serve
reports via web interface) but due to locking issues we can't leave the
MIMIX data group active.  So we just turn the data group on at night & let
it catch up when few or no users are online.
