Hi everybody!

I'm setting up an n-Node wackamole cluster. Wackamole is assigned a IP
pool which is published via round-robin DNS.

For example, I have two nodes:

Node 1: Fixed IP: 192.168.0.201
Node 2: Fixed IP: 192.168.0.202

FQDN: somecluster.net with two A records:

	192.168.0.210
	192.168.0.211

Of course, these two IP's (210, 211) are the IP used by wackamole. (VIPs).

Additionally, I have set up Apache with mod_backhand (SuSE Linux
Enterprise Server 8, mod_backhand 1.2.1, wackamole from CVS, fine-tuned
spread, timings are wonderful).

I've tried lots of different combinations for candidacy functions on the
/srv/www/htdocs and /srv/www/cgi-bin <Directory's>.

Which would be the required configuration for that kind of cluster? Note
that I'm not using HTTP redirection as I do not have a HEAD server
(front-tier I think you call it).

Any comments, ideas, insults?

Thank you!
