I am using ZenFire with a backup IQFeed connection. I have a single connection set up, and have specified Zen-Fire as the primary,and IQFeed as the backup feed in that connection.
The scenario that I am trying to duplicate is the case where NT's historical data servers are down.
Am I correct in assuming that with my current setup, when that happens then the connection will automatically fail over to IQFeed for historical data and continue to use ZF for placing orders?
The other way I have of setting this up is to manually connect to ZF first, then to IQFeed as a second connection. In the case of NT's historical data servers going down in that case, would it also fail over seamlessly?
Since I can't test this out manually, I would like to know if my interpretation is correct.
