failover feature?

[J Sloan <joe (at) tmsusa.com>]

One of the things we really make use of in our current bb setup is the
failover capability, which has been quite useful on more than one occasion.

We have 2 geographically separate data centers which are connected via a fat
pipe, and we do redundant monitoring of each data centers via bb servers from
each data center. The bb servers in data center 1 normally does all the
alerting, but in case the bb servers in data center 2 can't reach the bb
servers in data center 1 (for instance in case of wan outage) the bb servers
in data center 2 fail over and take on all the alerting duties. If and when
the bb servers in data center 1 become reachable again, the bb servers in data
center 1 revert to the normal non-alerting state.

I looked through the hobbit configs but don't see that failover functionality.
Is that something envisioned for a future release, or is there simply a
different approach to that problem in hobbit as compared to bb?
