I've aproached this in a slightly differnet manner: Cron is active on both nodes, crontab is identical on both nodes. But: contab entries check that a directory on the drbd volume exists, so the jobs only execute on the primary host. Example (drbd provides a filesystem that gets mounted as /usr/www) 8 * * * * nobody test -d /usr/www/apache && wget -O /dev/null -q http://cms.example.com/cms/cache_purge.php For my setup that seems to me much easier that fiddling with differnet crontabs or having multiple cron daemons.
