i'm not talking about sharing the id, i mean remove the old id from the server that is dead and use the id from the good server on the old server. example: server1 = dead server2 = good
lets say server2 is being dropped from our community, and server 1 is being relocated to another IP/location. Then i use server2's id on server1. How would this effect the server1 ? What if server 1 and server 2 were staying the same, but someone decided to SWAP the id's on each server every few days ? This is not something i do, but just thought it should be mentioned in case it needed to be looked into.
