I added a short chapter 3 to cover what I understand is the configuration.
http://rogerprice.org/NUT/ConfigExamples.A5.pdf#section.3

The source material was the User Manual 6.5. Typical setups for big 
servers with UPS redundancy 
http://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s06.html#BigServers 
and http://www.susaaland.dk/sharedoc/nut-2.0.3/docs/big-servers.txt
but I chose one UPS per server power inlet to avoid any discussion of 
cabling topology.
