Barry,

I was told that it is free for RED HAT 5 Advance Platform

You have to pay for it otherwise, around $499, I think

Néstor :-).

Red Hat Cluster Suite is included in RHEL 5 but is an add-on for RHEL 3 and RHEL
4.  For completeness, it was included in RHEL 2.1 AS and was not available as an
 add-on for RHEL 2.1 ES.

Before RHCS, I used to use keepalived with LVS.
