'k, just curious here, but is there any sync'age between these two servers?  Or 
are you risking reporting exclusively to one, and checking against the other? :(

One thought I had when I saw this patch was somehow extending the Pyzor 
server(s) to broadcast reports between each other, but that woudl require 
someone with Python abilities to do ... basically, when I report to 
82.94.255.100, it then has its own internal list of servers that it reports to 
... the communication would have to be done in such a way that those servers 
then don't go out an *re-broadcast' it again, but that should just be a matter 
of using the servers own internal server list to know that the report came 
*from* another server instead of from a client ...

Thoughts?  I'd be willing to put up a well connected server to act as one leg 
of this if someone had the skills to design/develop such an extension ...
