[cobalt-developers] Mirror

[Chris Briede <cbriede@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what I am ultimatly looking to do:
1 - I have 2 XTR's - I would love to setup one and auto mirror the 
second.
2 - automate the mirror (sync) process each night.

3 - Would love to load balance the 2 (If one went down the second to 
take over.)

Thanks for any info.

Chris
