Programmer/sysadmin needed to implement clustered hosting

**Need: Experienced Perl programmer with extensive knowledge of MySQL, Apache, BIND, Linux system and network commands. PHP knowledge a plus.** Purpose: To help design and implement a clustered hosting system based on an existing set of CGI scripts that are in use at an established hosting site. You would be modifying current scripts to function across multiple servers, implementing a system to synchronize MySQL DBs across multiple servers, and work with BIND to forward clients to the correct server that their files are hosted on. This is not a replicated cluster. Rather, files and configuration settings will be spread between servers to reduce load and allow easy scalability. I have a concept that should be able to be realistically implemented at little cost and will discuss it in detail with selected applicant. Applicant must possess the following skills: - extensive Perl experience - MySQL experience - familiar with Linux and commands - familiar with Linux networking configuration - knowledge of PHP definitely a plus - **excellent communicator ** (Don't bother applying if you commonly use terms such as "ur" or "rulz") - **professional attitude** - **ability to meet deadlines ** - willing to learn new skills - previous consulting or programming experience required Please extensively list your qualifications. As well, please provide some samples of completed work and provide at least two references of clients you have completed work for. Budget: Will vary depending on how much of the project you are able to take on.
