[Mailman-Developers] High Availability

Hello,

I read some old post back in 2002 on this list about Load balancing. In my scenario I don't have near the volume to warrant load balancing but I am interested in fail over capabilities. Would it cause Mailman any heartburn if I simply wrote an rsync script to keep the trees in sync? And then use the heartbeat package to do automatic fail over. I realize depending on my sync cycle I will potentially loose some data. Is there a better alternative to this?

Also I saw there are plans to move to a user store were users would have one password for all list. Have there been any considerations for LDAP as that user store?

Thanks, Preston
