I also found the existing HA guide rather hard going.  I suppose that
doesn't help much, but it's good to share the pain sometimes.

I think I would probably want to try and have the hypervisor deal with
HA (e.g. shadow VMs in vSphere).

Spring Security and Spring Integration already work together (and LDAP
is a dime a dozen for Spring Security users), so Spring AMQP with
Spring Integration might provide a nice high-level wrapper for this.

Spring Security is pretty good for that kind of requirement also. We
could try it pretty soon once Spring AMQP and Spring Integration get
properly synched up (should be any time, now that Spring Integration
2.0 is getting close to final).
