+## Referencing a bean in "many" servers
+
+Note the above also works with the various forms of failover that TomEE supports.
+
+If say, there are two servers that have the `OrangeBeanRemote` bean, you could expand the `<JndiProvider>` delcaration like so:
+
+      <JndiProvider id="shoe">
+        java.naming.provider.url = failover:ejbd://192.168.1.20:4201,ejbd://192.168.1.30:4201
+        java.naming.factory.initial = org.apache.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory
+      </JndiProvider>
+
+In the event that the `ejbd://192.168.1.20:4201` server cannot be contacted, the second server will be tried.
+
