Re: Pen redundancy on Solaris, anyone?

Thank you to all who responded.

I finally worked it out by installing ucarp which is available as binary
pkg via blastwave.
my only issue is that when the second host is up (ucarp acting as
backup), i won't be able to run pen coz it the virtual IP where pen is
going to listen on is not up yet,
unless i make pen to listen to all IP. however, pen will still runs even
the interface that it's currently using is gone (as in MASTER switched
to BACKUP).
