[Mono-list] C# Quorum over IP Pattern

[sideout]

I have 6 machines.  I'm interested in implementing a system where only one
node can possibly be active doing a particular task at a time.  If that node
becomes unresponsive or disconnects from the rest, it should lose the
ability to continue doing work (important because it may still actually we
working, just not able to communicate over the network) and another node
should be elected active and begin work again.  This is how a

server cluster  is implemented.

I was wondering if there are any open source frameworks or examples for
this.  Ideally well tested and peer reviewed.  If not at least a well
thought out paper explaining the theory and possible implementation.

I could invent my own, but I may not think of everything the first time
around nor is it efficient to re-invent the wheel.
