==== Description: ====
The purpose of this project is to provide a simple, minimalistic way of
providing a failover mechanism between two servers.

Both servers may be in the same datacenter, or located around the world, as
all administrative communication happens over TCP/IP.

One server is designated as 'primary' (hot) and the other, 'secondary' (cold
spare).  Both servers watch each other (this is similar to a typical
'heartbeat' approach).  

The 'cold' server will activate (e.g. it will start designated services) after
detecting a service outage/failure on its peer.  Upon recovery, the 'hot'
server will notify the secondary server, which will then resume the 'standby'
mode.

The features of this are: minimal, simple, pluggable, and configurable. 


==== Other Software Required: ====
None, this software is written in Python and uses only libraries provided with
Python.


==== Other Comments: ====
None, this is a preliminary/early project, but it's fun and possibly useful.
