Hi Ted,

If the links do not work for us for zk, then they are unlikely to work with
any other solution - such as trying to stretch Pacemaker or Red Hat Cluster
with their multicast protocols across the links.

If the links are not good enough, we might have to spend some more money to
fix this.

regards,
Martin
