Hi,
I m a bit unclear as to the syntax used for the BBDISPLAYS variable. If I want to set up 2 servers, for redundancy, I set BBDISP to 0.0.0.0, but what is used for separating the servers in BBDISPLAYS ? Just a blank, a comma, ... ?
And on the replicated servers, I guess that I have to modify both server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg and client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg with those same settings ?
Thanks, Stephane

Correct. Especially, make sure your clients are configured to send data to both servers.

So, it's up to the clients to send to multiple servers, and the servers wouldn't forward anything except whatever reports they generate about themselves??
I *may* have a problem with that in 4.2-RC-20060712. I have some Big Brother scripts that are running in a Big Brother environment, reporting to two Hobbit servers - 4.1.2p1 & 4.2-RC. Almost all of the results get through to the RC server, but some don't.
I'm still trying to refine it to a simple test case, but at the moment it looks like a report with "status+LIFETIME" isn't displayed on the RC server. If I remove the +LIFETIME value, the report *is* displayed. I figure I must have something wrong, because there have to be other people using that feature... :)

This may be a tangent to this. I haven't looked at the DMZ functionality but it seems to me that one could use that to have multiple servers set up....just have them all grab a copy of the client output (set the client up as a DMZ client regardless). Would this work?

Why not have bbproxy set up on both sides, with hobbitd running on a different port, and have each bbproxy forward to both hobbitd's?
