Hi, I am trying to setup a highly available ssh server on Linux (probably CentOS 5.4) , i.e. 2 nodes with a floating IP address, if one node fails then the IP address will move over and sessions will continue working. I am comfortable with using heartbeat and DRBD to to share data and manage the floating IP address but wondered if there is any way of having ssh share session / connection status across 2 nodes. I may end up achieving this by running the ssh server in a VM (using Linux and Xen) and migrating that instead but would rather avoid the over heads. I believe the current version of ssh from CentOS (and RedHat) is openssh-4.3p2-36.el5.i386.rpm) but would be happy to compile a version from source to meet my requirements. I am aware that there is an appliance from ssh that can do this and wondered if openssh was also capable of a high availability cluster set up. Any thoughts appreciated Mark Reynolds
