I tried 2 instances of BIND and they didn't work right.  One functioned
and the other played dead (very dead ... as in the process blocked and
would not wake up).  One needs 2 separate machines to get it to actually
work right (times the amount of redundancy desired).  If you know the
magic to make it work right, I'd sure like to know.  Maybe some kind of
lock somewhere?
