Hi, Sumesh, I just set up piranha for failover on postgres, firewalls,
and application servers. Note that out of the box, you cannot run
scripts when using FOS. FOS is very basic, however, Sebastion Bonnet has
some patches that allow FOS to handle failover using scripts the same as
LVS currently does. Just a caveat to be aware of. 

Aside to Sebastion, have you submitted these to Red Hat for addition? If
not, would you mind if I forwarded the diffs to Red Hat for review? It
would be nice if this feature was built in for the future. (Though I
think RH may be abandoning piranha for its clumanager.)
