I was wondering if anyone has run across this issue, and has a solution
to it.  

Our email group installed the BES server in a 2 server setup, where DNS
points to servers in an alternating fashion (round robin DNS, a
recommendation from RIM).   Server1 and Server2 contain mostly the same
data, but are not identical, but point to the same name - XXXXXBES.   

In other words, when a device requests XXXXXBES, it points to either
Server1 or Server2.   The problem comes in backing up both servers.
When I try to backup Server1 or Server2, it comes back that "XXXXXBES"
is not properly configured on the server.  In the past, we've simply
given that alias to a server, but I've never given 1 alias to 2
different servers.   And when I tested that configuration, it worked,
but definitely causes problems with the index.   

Has anyone done something similar to this??  TIA.
