Wackamole ensures that a single +machine within a cluster is listening on each virtual IP address +that Wackamole manages. If it discovers that particular machines +within the cluster are not alive, it will almost immediately ensure +that other machines acquire these public IPs. +At no time will more than one machine listen on any virtual IP. + +Wackamole also works toward achieving a balanced distribution of +number IPs on the machine within the cluster it manages. + +WWW: http://www.backhand.org/wackamole/ |
