[f-nsp] Getting started with ServerIron 4G

[Chris Price]

Yes, am using hot-standby HA, not SYM-active. I would agree that this is 
a config-sync problem that is resulting in real/virtual servers not 
being available on the standby nodes when failover occurs (ie: active 
dies, and standby becomes active node).

I believe I have the latest SIcli.pdf command line reference guide from 
Foundry and it doesnt have any config-sync references. Nor does the SLB 
Guide from Foundry. I'm going to call Foundry today and open a support 
ticket.

 From what I can gather of the 'config-sync' options is that you need to 
config one unit as a config 'sender' and one as a config 'receiver'. 
While this will likely work fine, its counterintuitive to what I am used 
to - the active node should be the config 'sender' and standby systems 
in a hot-standby HA setup should be receivers.
