   While more redundancy (i.e. a third database server) is always a good 
idea, it is not strictly necessary, much less 'a bad idea to run with two 
database servers'.
   Christof probably was thinking about the 'split brain' problem, which 
does not come into play with the AFS architecture; we are proof against 
that one. I made a posting about this a while ago; it should be in the 
archives.
