Hello,

just trying to translate this change but I am a little bit
confused.  So I think this section needs a little bit of
rewording or clarification (at least for me)  ...

Three or two hosts?

Does this mean that I need three machines with an
identical configuration in this example?  With 2 of them
(the content providers) always being online?  And only
when one of them fails, the "backup server"
(provider.example.org) will take
over for one of them (so we still have 2 online
content providers)?  And when the failed machine is
back online, it will take over again from
provider.example.org?
