Hi Kevin,

You only need one xPLHal instance on your network to handle the
config/scripting
stuff.

On your second machine, (your main HA server), you could just install the
HV xPL
app and a stand-alone xPL hub.
(there is either my .NET service, or Tony's VB6 version - if it's Win2k or
above
I'd recommend my .NET service, as it will run with nobody logged onto the
machine)

This leaves you free to run the xAP hub of your choice on your second HA
server,
whilst xPLHal will run on your first server along with the other instance
of the
HV app.

Hope that made sense!

Regards,

John
