Unfortunately I don't have a way to test this since I don't have such a setup.

I have dual servers and can test any beta code.

Look for a beta release in the coming weeks. In the meantime if you could confirm my approach it will help me get started. With your setup, if you access http://<master_backend_host>:6544/Dvr/GetRecordedList, does the HostName element for each Recording correctly identify the backend that can serve it up?

Thanks,

Yes it does. The field in the and blocks both show the hostname where the recoding is held. On my system the hostnames resolve in DNS, but I do not know if you can assume they always will.
