Hi
As far as I can see, wackamole currently communicates via Spread, and takes
over IP's if it can not talk to the other server.
However, I would find it more useful if it could send HTTP GET request to
the other server and wait for a specific response to determine if the web
server is actually up. (since the server may be up but Apache could have
died).
Also, when I un-plugged the Ethernet cable from the server, neither of the 2
servers I was testing with seemed to notice.
Regards
Anthony
