omshell failover-state confusion [was: partner-address]

[Gordon A. Lang]

Can anyone tell me how to interpret the "local-address" and 
"partner-address" parameters reported by omshell for the "failover-state" 
object?

I would ordinarily assume the colon-separated hex values would be the IP 
Addresses of each machine, but the output I am getting doesn't even come 
close to what my actual IP Addresses are, and therein lies the confusion.

please help please!
