Further to this, if you want a display server running on the remote
sites (in case the WAN goes down for example) then you must setup the
secondary hobbit servers to run on localhost and get the proxy to
forward to both the main server and the localhost while listening on the
secondary server's external ipaddress.

This is what I do on most of our European sites and forward them to the
central hub. It means we have the data in two places by default.
That's exactly what I want to do!
The net location tags are very important if doing network tests at the
remote sites so that the main server doesn't try testing them as well. I
rsync the bb-hosts files from the remote servers with sub bb-host pages
on the main server.
I will double check the "net" option in bb-hosts. Last thing I'm asking : could you send me samples of your
bb-hosts using the "net" option?
Hope this is useful.

Craig
