Linux cluster question

Hello,
I'm a newbie in cluster technology. I'm looking for cluster
solution for Linux platform. I would like to have two machines in my
cluster working in active-active configuration servicing some network
application. A client will connect via TSP/IP connection to the cluster
and will be serviced by one of nodes. Let's assume that the client is
serviced by a node A. At some point in time the node A crashes. In that
case node B will take over the whole work load. I wonder if in such
case it is possible to make failover of the client's TSP/IP
connection so it won't be broken and transparently for the client it
will be switched form node A to node B
Thank you in advance
Tom

Try google advanced search. "high availability" (exact phrase) and
"cluster" along with "Linux" should return something helpful...

The setup I used:
ALL: Linux
EXACT: high availability
AT LEAST: cluster

Hello Buck,
Thank you for your hint. However the problem is that it is very
detailed question and I couldn't find anything discussing that issue
