        Feel free to tell me if you have trouble with translation.

        No, only one, quite heavily loaded for testing purposes. But I believe
        this should not be so relevant for heartbeat, for which
        "/etc/init.d/vserver" is the only service to migrate.
        I see a much more interesting solution with the two host servers
        sharing vservers between them: each one taking the vservers hosted
        by the other in case of its failure. This allows to use both host
        servers at time. I think this requires true (both read-write) shared
        storage, which I haven't at the moment.

        I described this in theory in [0]. Sorry, in Italian. I'll translate
        if someone is interested. Perhaps you can look at the figures :)

        I'll try a proof-of-concept perhaps next weeks with opengfs and
        shared firewire external disks.

        Someone has alredy tried something similar? IMHO vservers and
        traditional HA can complement very nicely each other.
