We have a simmilar configuration. Substitute Sequet for HP and Oracles gateway products for IBI. For failover we trap the connection errors in powerbuilder and have the application re-connect to the other side of the cluster. We are trying to port the host applications down to our client/server platform as fast as posible. ( perhaps faster than sanity would dictate ) We do perform updates to and from host - client/server.
The only pitfall I can see would be if you expected a high volume of transaction through the IBI gateway. I would be concerned if you expected more than a few transactions / miniut. But I am perhaps overly sensitive to the stability of this link. We tried an other host to unix "glue" product befor using Oracle's with less than spectacular results. I have no direct experence with IBI so use the appropreat amout of salt when considering my comments.
Truthfully we have not gotten it all working yet.
By the way, what are you using to backup your systems? And, how are you connectin your remote sites?
