Abstract
Group communication systems are used to build fault-tolerant
and replicated services. However, they also can be
very useful for building tools that support a highly available web cluster,
or help manage a large collection of machines. This paper
explores the features of one particular Group communication system called Spread\texttrademark
that are useful in this environment and describes two specific applications that we
built and actively use. These applications are a distributed system logging tool and
an IP based high availability fail-over tool for clusters.
