Hi:
The new site administrator has been happy with the simplicity and usability of Xymon.
Then have asked for more changes over our actual config.
Currently I have one (kind of resource limited) Sparc V210 as xymon server. But have find out then sometimes the apache or xymond process coredump by some mistakes or changes. Sometimes we notice when this happen so just restart the process or server. But when the problem arises and we don't notice the problem; after 8 hours there is a lot of rrd data that can't be showed. (We can't send sms or emails out of the site domain).

So my boss have asked to make an another xymon server; to workout changes on one and keep the other with the older config till the new changes are "stable".
I have read the HA section but I'm unsure that can justify a cluster. So my question is if I have two xymon servers with the same config and tell the clients that report to both of them; can this scenario accomplish the task ?
I think that my boss is requesting a kind of pre-production/ production config. So I though two same config servers fit the scenario or must use the cluster ??

Any input is welcome!

Thanks a lot!
