Having two hosts connected to a common SCSI bus with "shared" storage is
something that is done all the time in commercial failover/high
availability systems.  One problem I see happening here is SCSI-level
locks on the disks preventing both host adapters from touching the same
disk.

Or were you talking about something more like a SCSI sniffer?
