Hi,

I never understood the noc/peer thing in merlin in fact. So I will maybe
give you a bad answer from a merlin comparaison point of view.

What you can do in Shinken is have two sites, each with a scheduler and a
poller that will "check" the sites hosts. Then you have a common broker
daemon (where you got your merlin database) that will get all data and
insert/update this database that Ninja will read.

You can have two sites with just a poller in it, but ti's just a matter of
network link size in fact (with the first version, only data are send
between sites, with just pollers, you got also checks).

You can also have 2 merlin databases (one in each sites), totally distinct,
but I think it's not a good thing to have, because it will need two Ninjas
too, so forgot about this last one :)
