Summary: add fake

Initial Comment:
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/fake/
Fake has been designed to switch in backup servers on a
LAN. In particular it has been designed to backup Mail,
Web and Proxy servers during periods of both
unscheduled and scheduled down time.

Fake allows you to take over the IP address of another
machine in the LAN by bringing up an additional
interface and making use of ARP spoofing. The
additional interface can be either a physical interface
or an IP alias.

Fake is easily configurable and is designed to enable
automated invocation via systems such as Mon that
monitor the availability of servers. Fake can also be
used in conjuction with load balancing mecahnisms such
as The Linux Virtual Server.

Fake can also be used as a resource for superseeded by
Heartbeat. For an integrated High Availability and Load
Balancing soltion for Linux, that incoporates
Heartbeat, please see Ultra Monkey
