Let's forget about XEN for a moment, I was actually looking at setting up a cluster which has fail-over & load balancing capabilities, regardless of what runs on it. If XEN enterprise is the only option,then I'm not going to bother. I don't see why I need to pay for a tool which has a helpdesk and "professional technicians standing by" to help me when I get stuck, if XEN can do the same. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers
