Fial-Safe Cluster:

	1) It's a pair of daemon, one run on mission critical primary server, the
other on auxiliary server
	2) If the primary server is detected down, the auxiliary will take over
all off TCP/IP
	    communications/services for the primary while doing its own regular
activity assigned.
	    Example:When prime server down, when ftp to the downed server will end
you up in the aux 	    	      server.
	3) The program run on freebsd 2x or 3x.
	4) Highly portable to all other mordern unixes like sun,hp,dec,ibm,
unixware, sco etc.
	5) the down time is reduced virtually to 0, instead of hours/days.	
	6) Once server down is detected, a log alert message is loged and a mail
sent to admin
	7) a historical count of the number of down or backing up is maintained in
the program and 	    	    expressed in the mail message.
	8) Virtual load-balancing in the crititical system event.
	9) Optional Beeper notification/fax notification 
	10) You may setup the primary server in LA, aux server in NewYork. but i
didn't test this yet.

The cost of this software is $350 but open for bargin. For more than 10M $
company it's another price. If anyone working as consultant for companies.
You may resell this software to them.
	
i may stick fax code in for fax notification & beeper code optionally.
