Due to the lack of manufacturers support, we really don't like either option.  Is there anyone else who has encountered this problem?  If so, how did you end up resolving this issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

4.2 is the last ver to support SFT III and is required for UL to have
2 redundent servers. You could switch to NW 6.1 (last ver before Suse)
and use a SAN (storage area network) for your redundent backup. SFT
III is the best solution, have 2 servers linked with a dule fiber and
away you go.
