Is anyone doing any type of failover or load balancing between two hobbit
servers?  I know that there was a function to do failover in BB.  I have two
separate servers that I've installed Hobbit onto, and am having clients
reporting to both, and they both are "clients" for each other, but I just
want to make sure I'm doing it the right way, and see if there might be a
better way.
I'm currently using hobbit in a failover scenario, but only one hobbit
server is up at a time.  There are 3 boxes [small freebsd PC's] acting
in an active/passive/passive mode with the clients reporting to the
virtual IP.  The data is rsync'ed every minute so the data loss would
be minimal.
