Probably not.  To be able to use the catalog from "Master A" you will
need to at least fool the host that is "Master B" into thinking it has the same
name as "Master A".  You will still not be able to run the restores from the
imposter master because clients will do a reverse lookup on the IP and it will
not match the name of "Master A".

to a different Master server (with a different name and I.P.address) and run
the restoration to the same NB clients that are backedup using primary Master?
