So, you might recall this article of mine:
«Proactive Protection Enhancements for fail2ban, part 1»
From June 2011. Ouch.
Anyway, as I have always wanted to cluster up all my fail2ban servers, especially without opening security holes between them, I cooked up these set of scripts that use the AWESOME zeromq messaging API: www.zeromq.org
I called them fail2ban-zmq-tools, also known as fail2ban-cluster. It consists of a Publisher, which receives messages from Monitor instances and broadcasts them to Subscriber instances.
You can clone up the repository by checking out this github web repos: https://github.com/buanzo/fail2ban-zmq-tools
ENJOY!
