Just pondering different things this morning, and my mind came back to
something I've thought about now and again.
Assume you are using a DRb service for....something. It doesn't matter what.
The case is the same whether one is accessing an array via DRb or a Rinda
Ring. Is there some reasonably easy way of making a service work in a fault
tolerant way? That is, one could have two processes on two different
machines both offering the same service. If one process dies, the data is
still present on the other, and the clients of that service can continue
operating without data loss?
