we use cron job to pull selected bb-host*,hobbit-alert*,hobbit-data and others from hobbit1 to hobbit2 using rsync.
and with hobbit server side module to check health of hobbit1, if hobbit1 is bad hobbit2 will enable its bbpage worker module to assume the failed hobbit1 alert service.

Two issues remains.

1. maintenance records are not failed over yet.thus hobbit2 send out false alerts.
2. rrd files on hobbit1 need to be patched with rrd data from hobbit2 for hobbit1's down period.
