High availability
-----------------

This section describes sample (not very well tested but working) HA
configuration for master failover.

A backup master ("shadow" master) can be configured for hot standby for
automatic failover using UCARP.

    sudo apt-get install ucarp

Here is sample configuration of "/etc/network/interfaces"
on "master" (SysV):
