  Yes, that makes sense.

  Read the documentation on "type" for home_server_pools.  There is
nothing that fits what you want.

  No.

  What you need is a simple rule:

	if NOT from (other two servers)
		copy to other two servers

  e.g.

	if ((Packet-Src-IP-Address != A) && (Packet-Src-IP-Address != B)) {
		copy-acct-to-home-server-A
		copy-acct-to-home-server-B
	}
