This is for sure a good idea. On the other hand this would mean that we
have to monitor another "host" and also plan for downtimes of this host,
too. An approach where I just define the redundant hosts and get the
report that I need would in my opinion be the better one. The data is
all there, it just has to be evaluated. I really can't believe, that I'm
the only one with this problem?

Best regards,
Stephan
