Anybody know if avahi and friends can help here? spread (http://www.spread.org/), as exemplified by Wackamole (http://www.backhand.org/wackamole/) is good for distributed heartbeat and election algorithms. It takes more work to make it reliable for heavy data transfer, but Cyrus has solved that part of the problem already.
