I have successfully updated several files with differening date a version orders. My CVS/SUP interaction problem was either "pilot error" or a result of backing up a version on my CVS tree itself after switching from the primary SUP server to a secondary, and making changes within the switch period. Thanks to Julian and others for their response on SUP/CVS interactions. It's my recommedation that you carfully observe the sync times for a source and destination SUP server if you plan on using a SUP changeover. Because of this, I recommend supping no more frequently than two update periods for a SUP providers local tree. This means that the SUP servers should update no less than three times a day if the SUP dns rotation that was suggested is implemented, assuming a once-daily SUP bu a leaf-node client. Failing that, people using the dns rotation list and getting a random SUP server should update no more frequently than every other day, if they are making any changes to the checked out trees at all.
