Chris,

No - you were spot on. Your explanation made perfect sense to me, and I
think that the proverbial penny has dropped.

OK, I'll change a couple of things around, so run it on 4 rather than 2 PCs,
because, erm, I now have them :-) but the "failover causes the box to add
another IP address" makes perfect sense.

Is there, perchance, a tool that automates all this for me? 

Regards,

Mark
