Ah so that does work, sort of.  Yea I would like to have it continue
past the second server if the first one suceeds.  Do you see this
behavior documented anywhere?

The reference manual does say that Cfengine iterates over the server field ("Iterative expansion is currently restricted to:").T This isn't how I first interpreted it though. When I saw you could put a list of servers there I assumed it was for fail over. I still can't think of an application for pulling something from multiple servers. Anyone doing this? -Tod

Jason,

The following is an example of the failover in action.  Yes you can
have multiple failovers.

I would like to see the ability to define mutiple servers.  Alas I
think will have to wait for Cfengine 3.

Is that planned? That would be great!

With Cfengine 2 you can copy from server=server1:server2. The problem
with it is if the copy from server1 is successful then it moves ahead
and does another copy from server2. And if server1 isn't responsive
then it seems to hang rather than timing out. Works great if server1
refuses connection though.  :)
