Yes, we deal with this issue by DNS way.

Today I took a look at Anubis document. As my understanding, It seems
Anubis is a notification service and provides a detection mechanism
for distributed system.

But in my cluster, we have already had this kind of mechanism for
detecting the status of our key daemons, dealing with master failure,
etc. We don't want to change that, just want to remove the shared-file
system dependency. Anubis looks a little big for this request. As I
know, SmartFrog has shipped some inbuild services for file operation,
downloading in its package. I am wondering it is possible to fulfill
my request by writing a SmartFrog which just extends these inbuilt
service.



Thanks,
