[OpenAFS] Using AFS dB clone

[Hartmut Reuter]

If you want do avoid that your secondary db server with the lowest IP-address 
ever becomes sync site it's correct to use -clone for it. However, in case your 
main server goes down you will loose the sync site until it is back up if you 
don't have a another non-clone db-server.
