We would like to take an automated action - but only in really bad situations. Our thinking is if 2 different Zabbix servers agree a service is offline, then STONITH of sorts - essentially power cycle the box that has that service. What I can't figure is how to trigger an action only I 192.168.l.lf both server A and B ag routerlogin ree it is indeed dead.

Hi
There is no federation for zabbix servers in the way you need
the approach might be to utilize zabbix api - and build custom check that will get values for the specific metric via api from both servers and based on it execute action ( on one of the servers ).
Honestly I can't see the benefit of it - I'd go with two hosts monitored via 2 proxies in one zabbix environment - those 2 hosts will be the same device ( just differenet name ) and create some sort of aggregated metric you'll fire an alert and execute action.
