HA PXES Server

Hi All,

I was just wondering if a doc on building "Highly Available PXES Cluster"
(Failover) would be of any use to anyone.  I have successfully built an HA
PXES Cluster (Failover) utilizing some great open source software like
Heartbeat, DRBD, xup script etc and of course the PXES Project which I'm a
big fan of.

I have built a complete lab and documented most of the
installation/configuration procedures, testing, troubleshooting but my
documents are just in rough form at this point.  We have approximately 110+
pxes client machines currently feeding off the Cluster.

It's a 2 server (PC's) cluster with the investment of extra NIC's and a
Serial NULL Modem Cable for Heartbeat links and DRBD replication.  That's
it.

Before I actually decided to build it, I searched far and wide for such a
document but to no avail.  I even posted this on this list a while back and
didn't get any responses.  I was planning on doing a doc anyways or even
maybe a site.  Just was curious to see if it was of any interest to anyone.
This really brings the pxes project to the next level when dealing with
Corporations that don't implement anything that doesn't have some kind of
failover/redundancy built around it.

Hope this makes sense and I'm looking forward to some feedback.  Maybe there
is already something available like this that I didn't find or come across.

Cheers
