Linux-HA serial cable pin-out configuration details

Hi everyone,

I have two server PC's running Linux-HA which I would like to connect
via a serial cable in order to give Heartbeat an extra channel of
communication.

I will be creating this cable myself, and as such I would like to know
what the pin-out configuration details are for this setup.

The reason im asking is that every website I have read so far
regarding this subject seems to have a different set of details, and
if possible I would like to get it right the first time :)

Any information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Google for 'null modem cable' with 9 pin connectors (DB-9-S).

I tried that before, although the problem im running into is that
there are quite a few different configurations, and I want to make
sure I use the right one for the job.

Thanks anyway though!
