TS - Is there a setup for an HA pair of servers

Is there documentation for setting up a High Availability (HA) pair of servers for xymon?

I have a Dell R-series server (new) and a Dell 1850 server that I can use.

I have created a SCRIPT and RSYNC between the two servers that the 1850 watches the R-series.

If the R-series fails to answer, the 1850 will then get the files from the RSYNC directory (edit a few items), install the hobbit-alerts.cfg file and take over the primary responsibilities of alerting.

Both systems currently have to watch over all devices - not efficient.

I copy over the files from each server every hour - thus also having a backup of each servers special files.

HA is the appropriate solution, is it possible? Is there a write-up on how to set it up?

Thanks,
