Hi Bo
That's why I'm installing a second one on the other machine. Machine A is
up and running and it VM DC is running. Machine B is rebooted and allowed to
attach to that DC. Once up Machine A is rebooted and allowed to attach via
the VM on Machine B.
I guess the real question is will the connections survive the reboots as
long as one of the VMs is up?
