To add to what Jai has stated, here in the DOC group we have used the 
modeling tools to define what a failover group is and what its 
properties are. We are in the process of enhancing DAnCE so that it can 
go ahead and deploy/configure the system per the requirements.

The following paper provides some initial ideas in this space:

ReDaC capabilities in this space is another set of challenges. As 
pointed out by Jai, we need to ensure the timeliness bounds.


thanks,
andy
