				| Yes, that is normal. 
 Both servers independently try to place the bid for you... so if by some chance on fails the other should succeed.
 
 However, Ebay only allows you to place the same bid once at different times... so if both are able to place the bid the second gets blocked by Ebay displaying a pager saying you need to bid more than that since you have already placed that bid... hence 'BID UNDER ASKING PRICE' is a correct description of what happened to the later bid.
 
 So all this means is that the Main server won the auction for you.. on this occasion the Mirrors' efforts to do the same where not required.. but it was there for you, just in case...
