RE: {bb} failover for bigbrother ?

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT@nibco.com>]

Oliver -

I have a 'standby' BB setup that seems to work as planned.

On the standby system -- install BB as both client and server; get the
web server and BB configured and talking to each other. 

Once the basic config is up and running, add the 'failover' script to
the bb-bbexttab on the failover machine only. Update the bb-hosts on all
client machines to add BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER entries for the failover
system as well as the primary BB system. Replicate your production
bb-hosts file to the failover system any time you make changes to it.

I have the same install on my failover as my primary (including larrd)
so that the displays match.

And I'm sure there are other ways to set it up, but this worked for me.
At one point I had an IBM rs/6000 (43P) running as failover for the
primary running on a Dell 4300 with SuSE 8.2.
