    As Marty says, connecting all this gear through one switch is certainly possible. If you have an intelligent or managed switch then you will be even better off running the two systems on separate vlans on the same switch.

    However as it seems you have all the kit to have two separate system, i would run then as just that (if you have 1 dp per console you gain little by putting them through a switch, some would argue that you are in fact just adding one more point of failure in this case). Get yourself an A/B DMX switch and then plug a Midi cable between the two consoles out of the main and into the back up (you will need to activate the appropriate MSC settings) and this will give you the closest thing to a tracking back up. Of course you will need to switch the DMX switch over should your main fail.

    Cheers
