I have no idea how or why you would want such a thing. if both kannels are running on
the same computer, then you don't have redundancy - if the computer crashes, both will
stop working. and anyway - you have no way to transfer the active sessions running
from one Kannel to the other. the best way to be crash proof is to use a store file
and make sure that the server itself does not crash.
As for load balancing - I don't think that its much of a problem : Kannel on a decent
machine could probably easily surpass the load that your SMSC provider will allow you.
if you do need to load balance, you can run multiplt smsboxes on the same bearerbox.
its possible to use multiple bearerboxes, but then you will have to get multiple
accounts with your SMSC provider. also - if you do "push" MT messages, then you will
have to have some sort of load balancing mechanism on the application side.
