The "turning off" of servers is controlled via the ctrl/sbbs.ini        DM> file and if you have two separate directories, then you have 2 separate        DM> copies of this file.

Has anyone ever tried       implementing an HA design with Keepalived?                      --- MultiMail/Linux v0.49        þ Synchronet þ Dreamer's Place        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 103/13 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 467/888 633/267       SEEN-BY: 633/280 281 384 410 418 420 2744 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
