Just like said Lon, this idea is very easy and perfect for me ! No need to handle the cluster suite in this case :-) Because I wanna know if a node has stopped working, I'll do : on each node, a script watch a file on the gfs every minute, if cannot find it, stop httpd and send me a email. Because httpd will be down, the server will be remove from the servers pool. Simple and should work. Best of both work. Thanks Matthew and Lon for the responses !!!
