In preparation for FC7, I'm currently regrooving my network; part of
which is an experiment to virtualise one or more of the servers.
(I'm currently posting from one of them.)

Theoretically, this should facilitate a 100% uptime through
replication and failover (meaning that I can update kernels, etc.,
but still retain 100% availability ... which is nice).

I'm still getting to grips with Xen (some aspects of which are fairly
complex), and I'm not currently utilising it in the most useful way
(I believe there is a more comprehensive way of "distributing" nodes),
so I think I'll take a look at XenExpress and see if it can simplify
the process. Looks good, from what I've read so far.
