2 Linodes - Same Datacentre - different hosts?
I'm thinking about ordering 2 linodes in the same datacentre.
Can they be specified so they are guaranteed to be on different host machines?
One would be live & one serve as a (reasonably!) hot backup.
Therefore it wouldn't be a good idea for them to be on the same hardware.
I note from the FAQ that only the same plan types are on each host, so i suppose
a 512 & 768 would guarantee they are on different hosts, but can, say, two 512's be
specified to be on different hosts at the time of order?
Thanks in advance

Can I view in the control panel which physical host my linodes are running on ?
@phy7tes:

Yes, it's in the column on the right side of each Linode's dashboard page.
If you're buying 30-40 Linodes, I imagine some will end up on the same hosts, but it should be easy to find 15-20 pairs that aren't.
