Thanks for the PM, but it would be better if you respond in the thread so that others may also benefit.
So you have two SCO 5.0.5 machines that you want to have mirror each other.
If you are looking for a magic bullet, forget it.
SCO have solutions based on 5.0.7 and Unixware, that will provide this kind of product if you need minute by minute redundancy.
If you can live with once per hour or per day mirroring then use either NFS or FTP to copy the changed files from the primary system to the backup system.
An alternative is to add transaction logging to your application on the primary system, and have a background process on the secondary machine post those transactions to the data files on that machine.

dhcpv6db2conf
dhcpv6db2conf(1M) dhcpv6db2conf(1M)
NAME
dhcpv6db2conf - DHCPv6 client database converter
SYNOPSIS
[lan_interfaces]
DESCRIPTION
provides a means of translating the DHCPv6 client database, into a set of standard configuration file variables. The client database con-
sists of a series of records. Each record represents a unique lan interface and a list of attributes, which correspond to that interface.
The attributes are configuration parameters like: host's IP address, NTP server address, address of the DHCPv6 server, NIS domain name etc
for that interface. With you can list the contents of the database to the screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute
direct edits on existing configuration files using the values contained in the client database.
Options
allows you to specify a list of lan interfaces on the command line (e.g. whose data needs to be translated to a readable format. If no
lan interface is specified, will process the entries of all interfaces which are UP. The attributes can be selected for processing by
specifying a combination of one or more filter flags on the command line. If no filter flag is specified, all the attributes for that lan
interface will be processed.
The following options are supported:
Using the results of the specified filter, directly apply the variable
definitions to the existing configuration files (for example,
Create a set of staging files using the results of the selected filter(s).
Each variable processed will be applied to its corresponding staging configuration file.
Specifically, will generate a copy of the existing configuration file. For example, will be copied to Once this staging
file has been created, the variable that is being processed will be applied to this newly created file.
Print results to the screen (stdout), this is the default action if neither
nor are specified.
Process the INTERFACE variable set [IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME, IPV6_ADDRESS, IPV6_PREFIXLEN, DHCPV6_ENABLE].
Process the DNS variable set
[domain, nameserver].
Process the SIP server address and SIP domain name information.
Process the NIS variable set
[NIS_DOMAIN, YPSET_ADDR].
Process the vendor specific information.
Print the DHCPv6 server address.
lan_interfaces lan interfaces such as whose data needs to be translated to a readable format. If not specified, will process the entries
of all interfaces which are UP.
Configuration Files and Variable Names
The following files and variables can be processed:
