A separate discussion is how communication will occur between servers who are not members of a cluster. There needs to be a group communication mechanism that spans the entire domain.
I think the best way to address this is that everything in a domain will have two communication services that are distinct from everything used in clustering:
- Configuration syncing
- Deployment
These services could be implemented in a number of ways, but will likely need to be a simple/specialized protocol. It might even necessitate a node agent of some sort. However I think thats a conversation for later, the important thing is the notion that synching must be possible to non-clustered nodes.
Agreed, both with the details and the discussion for later part. :)
