Hi Brian ..thanks a million for your prompt reply. At the moment I'm still waiting for the midrange systems to arrive at the premises. Therefore Im trying to visualize the fact that before doing the actual thingee on the midrange systems can I run the active/active or active/passive configurations on 2 simple intel based pc's with their regular hard-drives. 
Mind you there's no SAN involved just simple intel based regular pc's talking to each other via ethernet and that it. Hope I clearified myself if not let me know. 
 
Cheers:    Munir

Good morning, Munir. I think you and I are the only ones on the list; 
my last question went echoing off into the ether with nary a response.

I'm not sure I understand your question. First, are you referring to 
load balancing with LVS (which is what Piranha is) or high availability 
in an active/passive configuration (what "Red Hat Cluster Manager" is)?

Second, please clarify your terminology; with LVS, the server that does 
the routing and actual load balancing is called the "director". The 
machines actually serving requests are known as the "real servers" or 
"real-servers". Not trying to be pedantic, just clear things up.
