I have not had a chance to implement a solution as of yet, but I will repost
a completion summary when I've made something work in the real world. Until
then the suggestions that I received included 4 primary solutions.
1) HAnet from Sun/Jim Herbert
2) Alternate Pathing (included with 5/98 and later)
3) Sun Trunking software (unbundled purchase)
4) Sun clustering Software (may be same as #3)
