Cluster membership services as implemented by Sistina are generic, symmetric and (hopefully) raceless. See: http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/als00/2000papers/papers/full_papers/preslan/preslan.pdf There is much overlap between the OpenAIS and Sistina's Symmetric Cluster Architecture. You are right, we do need to get together. By the way, how do I get your source code if I don't agree with the BitKeeper license? Regards, Daniel
