Hi,
I think the best way for this is to define two realms with both :
* 2 schedulers, 2 pollers, 2 reactionners, 2 brokers (where you will put the
merlin module) and 2 receivers (for passive checks, but it can be the main
arbiter that manage it), one arbiter in each, one site is the master
arbiter, the other is the slave one.
You will be able to scale one site without problem if you need, and you
still got one common configuration place. It's fully HA, and even if you
lsot the inter-link, the slave arbiter will just resend the same
configuration, and when the master will came back it will just take the
lead. With it you just need to tag your hosts or hostgroups with the realm
name.
You can also take a cheaper installation with only one scheduler in each
site and do the "site" management with poller tags, but it will ask more
network trafic between your sites. If it's not a problem, it can be an
easier solution :)

Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI
Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of
agility. Learn what those decisions are and how to modernize your storage
and backup environments for virtualization.
