TORQUE. I haven't had the time or opportunity to work on it lately but
have the same idea as you Daniel. The problem with TORQUE in tha past is
as described by Prakash. But now that TORQUE, using the --HA option
of 2.3.0+ versions, allows you to have multiple entries in the "server_name"
file, TORQUE may no longer suffer from the same issues.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I tried this some months ago for Torque, but failed. Looks like,
as mentioned by Stewart Samuels in an earlier thread, </FONT><FONT
class=Apple-style-span color=#151515>TORQUE uses the gethostbyname routine to
identify the host and therefore, when failingover, you eventually must have the
failover node be identified as the original system. Which is not the ideal thing
to do in a heartbeat environment.</FONT>
