Hello Jeff,

Here, http has been used just as an example. Could be any other service (ftp, 
proxy cache, etc) or shared resurce (a gfs volume mounted on all our 
servers). Here i am talking about functionality...

Simple: supposing that i have 3 thiered cluster model (1st thier configured 
for HA and load balancing, 2nd thier with N nodes acting as real servers, all 
running the same service and accesing a shared volume via iscsi, and 3rd 
thier acting as SAN), i need a "command center" to control (start/stop) a 
resourse/service globally in 2nd thier, on all N nodes. For example, 
currently i am using fstab to mount at boot time a shared GFS volume on all 
our cluster nodes. There are some cases, when i want that resource to be 
unmounted at the same time on all nodes... Is difficult and take time to ssh 
inside each node and stop a service accessing that resource and after that 
umount resource on each node (eg: service httpd stop && 
umount /dev/my_shared_volume). Maybe, what i want is not possible using 
cluster configuration, but i would like to know, how other peoples are are 
achieving this task.

Alx
