Just like said Lon, this idea is very easy and perfect for me ! No need
to handle the cluster suite in this case :-)

Because I wanna know if a node has stopped working, I'll do :
on each node, a script watch a file on the gfs every minute, if cannot
find it, stop httpd and send me a email. Because httpd will be down, the
server will be remove from the servers pool. Simple and should work.
Best of both work.
Thanks Matthew and Lon for the responses !!!
