On a related note. Y'all might want to investigate 'drbd' on the linux-ha
web site. It mirrors device blocks across the LAN to backup servers as
they are written to a primary server. (have a very fast dedicated
secondary LAN)

I have *no* idea if it'll run on a Qube or Raq but should work on more
vanilla Linux.
