Well, I see what you are driving at, in general. However, in the above example, should you just run (2) different JFFNMS installations on Host X and Host Y? That said, if a company was offering the service to lots of different customers, would you want to run the risk of one master server, as a critical point of failure? If you do choose this software architecture, 'RollOver' or some other form of fault tolerant server arch would be warranted, imho. If not, then your minimum would be to chroot or some other form of virtual server so that each customer ( and their data) is isolated, methinks. Hardware is the cheapest part of network monitoring. My education and experience with HA systems, says to 'spread the risk' and thus increase your Availability and minimize risk due to software/hardware/human issues/failures..... hth, James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
