[Spacewalk-list] Replicate spacewalk core to another data center for HA

[Paul Robert Marino]

well I have a different plan which I'm going to test in the next week or so

As far as i know satellite-sync should work between instances of
spacewalk so if i combine that with a squid 3 revers proxy (possibly
with an ssl bump configured ) or an LVS based load balancer and
finally add in a few bind 9 tricks to do location based responses. I
think I should be able to do this using stock tools without too much
difficulty.

Ill let you know how it goes
