Right, I don't think the "ignorelb" flag was added to drivers until 2011.

Also correct that upsd does not calculate LB, but the drivers can do what you 
are describing if the "ignorelb" flag is set. Using dummy-ups in repeater mode 
does sound like a good option.

Another potential hitch: while you can override LB, I haven't looked into 
overriding OB. So for testing, it might be necessary to have a copy of dummy 
ups reading from a file, in place of the actual snmp-ups driver.
