In your original email you said:
"only one of the bb servers does reporting, as determined by the failover state"
Does that mean only one of the two sends out notifications?? If so, why not just have two identical Hobbit servers, with all the clients sending reports to both, and disable the [bbpage] section in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg on the backup system. Then your failover solution only has to detect "death of twin" and rewrite the hobbitlaunch.cfg with DISABLED removed from that section. I guess Hobbit might need to be reloaded or restarted for the change to take effect.
I haven't tried this - we don't use the paging system - I'm just wondering if something as simple as that might work.
Yes, that approach has merit, it could work.
However I still need to give Henrik's quick solution from last week some testing - I'm currently building a hobbit infrastructure so I can see how his failover script behaves under pressure.
