[Linuxha-users] Linuxha.net Status Update

[Michael Mansour]

Hi Simon,

This is great news. I've been using linuxha.net 1.0.x in full blown production
now for some time, and am very happy with the results. There are a few hiccups
I've noticed, but they are primarily from me and my scripts.

I've recently moved the NPGX mailing system to linuxha.net, and am finalising
a script tonight to handle /etc/aliases (can't cluster that due to sendmail
not being able to use symlinks for that file). Once that script is finalised,
I'll likely be putting on many more domains and virtual servers onto that
cluster shortly after (increasing its load exponentially). At the moment it
handles various npgx.com.au environments, but about 30+ apache virtual
servers/domains will soon be moved across also.

Regards,

Michael.

> 2.0.x - under heavy development, prototyping and experimentation. 
> Many, many significant enhancements - 2+ nodes (no upper limit

> integration), multiple protocol support for storage - shared and 
> local storage protocols are likely to be supported - even in the 
> same cluster...
