I am trying to set up an active/standby or active/passive SEC pair, and
use context to indicate which side should be active or passive. I am
having a problem with the context check, comparing the string of $1
against %Side, and I am not getting what I would expect.
The exercise creates two questions for me. How do you compare context
variables in a context expession? Is there a simpler more elegant way
to do active/passive pairing, and signal in-band an active/passive
switchover?
Please advise,
