I think that threre might be a little confusion about what each of you are talking about. The difference between redundancy, availability etc. The original question was about 2 data collectors in an (implied) single zone. Philip talked about seting dc preferences and which acts as dc until failure. I think Euan was talking about geting more information to see if an 8 server farm needs to be split into 2 zones etc. Or if dc availability is what Dan was really asking about.
