why don't you set up two hobbits servers (with perhaps an rsync script > to synchronize automatically the conf) ?
you'll have two hobbit servers running in the same time (which can lead > to duplicate alerts, but it's sometimes better to
be alerted two times).
That's what I'm doing currently. Getting rid of alerts is simple, just
disable the hobbitd_alert module on one of the servers. Should that
server fail, you can quickly enable it on the backup server.

  Just to clarify:
  1. rsync is run every 5 minutes [your opinion on frequency and other method].
2. the stand-by is running hobbitd normally(?), so only update data, and       server/www directories? (what about server/etc)
3. how to disable the hobbitd_alert module 
Thank you,
