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.

I currently have just one AFS database server and was considering setting up
another machine to just be a clone for back up purposes.
I was looking at the documentation for bos addhost and it indicates under the
-clone option that this should be used with caution.
Are there any issues I need to watch out for to set this machine as a clone.
Additionally, this machine has a lower IP Address and I don't want it to be
considered a sync site.
I'm currently running openafs 1.6.0 on my client/servers and linux kernel
2.6.38.8 on Slackware 13.37 machines (64 bit).
