I don't know about your second question, but the answer to your first question is "yes", with caveats. You must make sure that: 1) No client is in both configs. Without a special patch (which is available from John Jackson), you can't run more than one amandad process on a host. Thus you can't have two configs trying to contact the same client. 2) The holding disks are separate and with limits set such that neither config can unexpectedly starve the other for holding disk space. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
