Phil,

It should be possible using NUT, which it looks like all of the NAS
platfor=
ms you have use.

In theory, one NAS would become the NUT server, with the remaining two
bein=
g clients

Here=E2=80=99s some pointers

Using the following on google will get you more pointers depending on
which=
NAS you want as the server (probably the one you want to shut down last)

<NASNAME> NAS NUT UPS
