[erlang-questions] Fishing for best practices: distributed twin processes!

Thank you all for answers.

Robert, could you please clarify what 'some time' may mean? I'm wondering
if it's better:


   - to have all processes linked between nodes, and receive the failover
   signal (may be thousands of them)
   - to have a single 'node monitoring' process which will then deal with a
   node failure

Any input welcome :)
