OK. Im going to test it.

When I have ServerA -> ServerB
should I write config for ServerB like?:

<master-server>ServerA.some.net</master-server>
<master-server-port>8000</master-server-port>
<master-update-interval>120</master-update-interval>
<master-password>hackme</master-password>

But is falls with error show below.

It seems ServerB is unable to authenticate itself.

On ServerA I have:

<authentication>
  <source-password>hackme</source-password>
  <relay-password>hackme</relay-password>
  <master-password>hackme</master-password>
  <slave-password>hackme</slave-password>
  <admin-user>admin</admin-user>
  <admin-password>hackme</admin-password>
</authentication>

What do I do wrong?

Thank for advice
Petr
