I guess I don't see how to get only 2 netinfod's - following the guide, one
of the systems will have 3, and either both will have 3, or one will have 4
once I add the clone.

As I said, I create Server1 as a parent. This gives me netinfod -s local and
netinfod -s network

On Server2 I create as a parent giving me netinfod -s local and netinfod -s
network.

I create a machine directory on server1 for server2 saying it serves
Lab1/network and ./network

On server2 I create a machine directory for server1 with a serves property
of ../network

This creates the hierarchy correctly - but no clone. If server1 goes down,
no one in the root can authenticate. I'd like to avoid this by cloning the
root to Server2, but don't see how.

The guide's example has me adding an extra domain to server1 and basically
swapping the new domain with the network-tagged domain, to make the new one
the root, which can now be cloned, but it leaves behind an extra domain with
a network tag

So instead of (excuse the possibly horrible ascii art):

Root ---Server1(Local)
|
|__ Lab___Server2(local)

I get

Root ---network--Server1(Local)
|
|__ Lab___Server2(local)

I foresee someone putting accounts into the network domain accidentally,
would like to avoid this

Thanks
Steve
