Others can point out if I am crazy, but in a two machine rivendell network, I would make the main machine the main server and rdairplay machine and then set up the second machine as the multiple vnc machine. Let the users vnc into this and generate and edit their logs, etc. My thinking: If the vnc users screw up somehow, they are not screwing up the onair machine. If the network goes down for some reason, the rdairplay machine can continue to run as a standalone machine until things get fixed.
