Hi,

Is there a way to cluster a socket program?

I have been assigned a task to cluster the program which connects to server using a socket. The purpose is to get the redundancy of program (i.e. if program fails on machine A machine B should take over).

You need to cluster machine A and B. The HA set of tools will do this easily. However your application will have to have an internal ALIVE function.

We need this as this is the program which has the routing logic based on the input received from the server it routes the request to different application.

Any help or pointer to achieve this is welcome.

Thanks In advance.
