Hi all,

I'm fairly new to this list ( and wackamole in general ) so if this has been 
covered before please forgive me, I did look through the archives and didn't 
find anything on this topic.

I'm curious if there is any way in wackamole to configure a group of IP 
addresses that should never exist on the same machine ( except perhaps under 
the circumstance of having no other more IP's in the group than nodes to 
assign them to )?

For instance:
We have 100 Ip addresses assigned to 5 machines, those 100 IP's are really 50 
IP pairs that both provide a service and are load balanced upstream. It would 
be very helpful to let wackamole decide how to redistribute those 100 IP's 
between the 5 machines.

IE:
Website A is load balanced between 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.11.
Website B is load balanced between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.12.

10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 could exist on the same machine without problem, but 
10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.11 shouldn't as that would put all the load for that 
particular site on a single machine.

I hope that make some sense. If not please let me know and I'll try to clarify 
more. If this isn't possible in wackamole and you have experience with some 
other HA solution that would provide that type functionality please let me 
know.
