MS points us away from IPSEC with this article due to the failover
implications.

Other than SSL, what technologies are you implementing in it's place?

Is OpenSSH viable on a cluster?

We use IPSec :) You can change the SA timeout from 5 minutes to 1 :)

Cheers,

Unfortunately with Microsoft saying:
" Microsoft recommends that you do not use IPSec for programs in a server
cluster" - KB 306677

I can't recommend it either for high availability critical systems.

I take it changing the default time out will result in a maximum downtime of
one minute..?

From -
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...g/srclscbp.mspx

"Although IPSec is not optimally designed for a clustered environment, it
may be used if your business need for secure connectivity outweighs client
downtime in the event of a failover."

Yes, changing the timeout would equal 1 minute for IPSec :)
