Wackamole - Dynamic Cluster with N-way Fail-over
- In contrast to available gateway solutions (Alteon, BigIP, Cisco’s Local-director, …).
- Exploiting Spread’s strong membership semantics to build a distributed agreement protocol that strictly distributes the cluster’s public IP addresses between the currently connected servers.
- Useful for locally replicated web servers, ftp servers, DNS servers, and even fail-over routers.
