Hi Jerry,

No, I don't need to connect to each server at the same time. All I'm 
looking for is a redundancy scheme whereby if one server falls over, 
Xastir will attempt to connect to an alternative server in a manner 
similar to UIView.

Server failures are rare but, in accordance with Murphy's Law they will 
happen when I'm not here, which is quite often, and I want to cover that 
possibility.
