Where do you actually have the X2Go Broker installed? On both X2Go

The recommended setup is:

  on broker machine, several X2Go Servers

or

  two broker machines (with DNS round robin), several X2Go Servers

What's the reason for this?

Our idea was to install the broker on all X2Go Servers, and have one
Round-Robin-DNS entry for the broker connection, as well as separate
names for the servers themselves.

broker.example.com -> 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.20 #RRDNS
primarynode.example.com -> 192.168.0.10
secondarynode.example.com -> 192.168.0.20

Is this still a bad idea, and if so, why?

If you setup the complete broker <-> broker-agent functionality, the broker becomes quite powerful. The software design should be safe regarding privilege handling.

However, I personally prefer to have the broker on a machine where users won't get a login shell. It is just a gut feeling. In theory, it should be safe having the broker on X2Go Servers. But still...
