I start the replicators for replication between multiple Isilon clusters. Or actually in my test setup I had a mixed environment with some nodes that were just normal Ubuntu Linux boxes and some nodes that were part of an Isilon cluster. So the replicators would replicate from the Isilon nodes to the Ubuntu nodes.

I'll look into opening the source.

It would help a lot if you opened the source and not just described what it does.

Yeah, I did that too, like this:

Or you could create a fake ring with 1 node, like Gluster does.

Why do you even start those?
