I would like to do like you can with BB..  The master and the backups 
will be on completely different networks.  Basically what I have is a 
collection of servers and devices to monitor in two different 
locations.  I want to have a main monitor server at location 1 
monitoring devices at both locations.  I then want location 2 to take 
over if location 1 goes down.
