nagios server redundancy

[Morty]

I'm looking to implement redundant nagios servers, with the backup
server in a different location than the prime server.  This is nagios
3.2.3, with the default web interface.  I'm synchronizing
configurations by rsyncing /usr/local/nagios/etc/ between systems.
I'm doing active/active (i.e. I want the backup server monitoring at
the same time as the prime server.)  So far so good.

Problem: acknowledgements on the prime are not being synced to the
backup.

Is there a (clean) way to sync the prime's acknowledgements to the
backup, as well?  I'm tempted to shut down the backup, rsync the
prime's var directory to the backup, and then bring the backup back
online.  But the docs have various warnings about not messing with the
var files, so figured I'd ask about possible hidden gotchas.

I've read http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/redundancy.html, but
scenario one doesn't discuss syncing acknowledgements, and scenario 2
is active/passive.

Thanks!
