Did you=20 > had a look at http://www.linux-ha.org/ ? Those would be the more complex instances of "an additional monitoring process", right? What happens when heartbeat is "kill -9"ed?

Or, did I overlook there a kernel based solution to "withdraw IP config when processes die"? Can you provide a direct link on linux-ha? best regards Patrick
