random ideas about failover demo

We should put in a file interesting infos, for instance about the
failover:
 - some URL with IPv4 only servers where to get a big file
  (DVD image of a distrib is good for this use)
 - the PCP map command to setup a ssh loop hole

About the failover itself:
 - one of the two boxes should get a sticker so it will be obviously
  different
 - if the suspend works with Linux, I suggest to suspend the backup box
  and it resumes it when it replaces the first box
 - IMHO the backup box should be the one which owns the Ethernet addresses
  (so no surprise with the resume of the Ethernet NICs)

To test the whole picture, I believe if we can put a small NAT between
the demo (i.e., the SD-AFTR) and the Internet mapping the addresses
we'll use in Paris (of course we need them before) in place of the
usual 192.168.x.y we should be able to test a big part of the demo
(everything at the exception of incoming connections for the Internet).

Thanks

PS: I updated the aftr config on io to support 3 SD-B4s.
