  Fake 1.1.3
  Horms - September 23rd 1999, 06:50 EST

  Fake has been designed to switch in backup servers on a LAN. It has
  been used to success over the last year to switch in 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.

  Changes: Running a second instance of fake for the same
  instance-configuration caused the second instance to signal the first
  which in turn signalled the second instance to shutdown. USR1 is now
  used for fake to tell other intances to exit without cleaning up to
  avoid this problem.

  Urgency: medium
