Re: Red Hat Inc's position towards piranha, ipvs, etc not with Red Hat Advanced Server?

Piranha is a key component of Advanced Server; targeted for IP load 
balancing w/ LVS.  Advanced Server also contains the Cluster Manager 
high availability failover clustering technology.  These are 
complimentary features as they are each targeted at solving different 
problems.  Going forward, both of these clustering components will 
remain within AS.  Also, as with other RH software, they are fully open 
source.
