Hello,

 
I want to run Two Hobbit Servers for redundancy purposes.

Can someone give me some pointers. What's the best

way to set this up, and which files do I change?

 
I've looked through hobbitclient.cfg and it has the following:

 
BBDISP="192.168.0.218"             # IP address of the Hobbit server

BBDISPLAYS=""                   # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP must
be "0.0.0.0".

 
So, Do I set BBDISPLAYS to:

BBDISPLAYS="192.168.0.219"   (For my other Hobbit Server)

 
Will the clients then send data to both servers? How do you account for
paging?

Do you set one machine as the primary and turn-off the other machine?

If one machine fails, can you enable the other to start paging.

 
Any pointers would be really appreciated.

 
Thanks..James
