Since the primary/fallback thing doesn't work for me, I'll share what I did.

First I configured pan with "news_server_1" and then shut it down. I then renamed the ".pan2" directory to "pan2_server1". Next I started pan again and configured "news_server_2", shut it down, and renamed ".pan2" to "pan2_server2". Now I can select a news server by renaming either "pan2_server1" or "pan2_server2" to ".pan2", and starting pan. When I'm done, I rename .pan2 back to the original name. A simple script makes this all transparent.


That's a useful idea.  For that matter you could set the PAN_HOME
environment variable instead of changing the .pan2 directory name:

	$ PAN_HOME=~/pan2_server1 pan
and
	$ PAN_HOME=~/pan2_server2 pan

6 of 1...

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't aware of $PAN_HOME (time to RTFM). Much better than renaming the files.

I've been trying to figure out how to run 2 copies of pan, maybe this is the answer. I'll definitely try it.

Thanks

John
