I have 2 south servers running and I was wondering what's the best setup for the xx-client.ini?

# Serial port receiver is connected to.
serial_port=/dev/ttys0

# Set baud to 19200 for most Viewsat, XFactor and CNX receivers that used
# a dongle.
# Set baud to 115200 for most other receivers and Viewsats running SSSP
# firmware.
# serial_speed=19200

# Control word retrieval timeout in seconds.
server_timeout=14

# Number of attempts before connecting to a new server. Setting to '0' will
# make the client try the next server after first failure.
server_retries=0

# Receiver protocol
# 1 - Viewsat/X-Factor
# 2 - CNX
# 3 - SSSP Viewsat/SSSP Pansat/Coolsat
# 4 - Captiveworks *-Mileage may vary
receiver_protocol=1

# If set to 1, CaID reported by the receiver will be ignored and ECM will be
# sent to server even if there is a CaID mismatch. If you are using a single
# provider you should set this to 1.
ignore_caid=0

# Setting to 1 makes XX-Client run in the background, like a Windows service.
background_execution=0



Should I change the server timeout to a smaller timeout? I'm finding it's not switching to the second server or at least not fast enough.

Retries should be 0like it is. Set the server timeout to say 10 or 8 (seconds) that might help.
