[hobbit] Dual Hobbit servers and acknowledgements.

[Phil Wild]

I am not 100% sure on all of this. Some one with a little more knowledge may
be able to further expand on this.

In my testing, I have acked alerts and could not find any record ofthe mack
message in any file on the hobbit server. From this I have assumed that this
stays memory resident, being dumped to the memory checkpint file every so
often.

If you disable an alert, the same thing goes, but an entry does appear in
./data/histlogs/...

So the way I am going to approach this (not yet implemented but planned):

copy the checkpoint file across between the two servers and leave it there
just in case it is needed....
synchronise the bb-hosts and hobbit-alerts files from primary to secondary
servers.
hobbly the sending out of messages on the secondary server (this is done by
using a script for all message types. The script determines if it should act
on the alerts or not based on a setting of who is primary/secondary...

In the event that primary is down, secondary is started, loading the
primaries checkpoint file. Alerting is then enabled.

Cheers

Phil
