Well the best test to see if it is working is to use two clients.  You
create some files using the first client, by copying them into /coda and
then look at those files from the other client.  If that works, they are
on the server.

You should try to divide you file tree into volumes, and put some
volumes on one server, some on another.  Have you read the HOWTO?

You cannot list two scm's because they fall into different cells, and
the system would get _very_ confused.  You _can_ list both servers you
have in the vstab.

So simo.ddns.org,testserver.coda.cmu.cs.edu is not a good idea.
