First-time true dual-box: Tech Question

Ok,

Forgive me if I sound noobish, but that's because I am. (Not to WoW, but dual-boxing).

I have everything setup to use Multibox and so far its working great.

My biggest question is this: What is the best way to keep my characters movement in sync? Do each of you have to manually keep them in line with eachother?

Some insight on how you do this would be great. I searched the forums but didn't see anything (although I'm having a bit of a problem with response from the server these forums are hosted on.)

Thank you in advance for your help.

/follow the main character, that's the only thing that works.

I actually manually control both of my paladins. Since they're melee at times I find it easier to just take control of both. I do this by using the same forward key for both, but control turning with the mouse for one and keyboard for the other. I can do it pretty well, but it's definitely not ideal.

/follow is the best way.

I play a Warrior/Pally combo, so positioning is key.

Warrior is on the main box. I unbind the Pally's W, A, S, D keys and rebind movement to the arrow keys. Every single macro on the pally has an /assist "main" /follow "main" so that I can spam the warrior keys and the pally will always face him.

When I charge with the warrior, I continue running through the mobs geometry and do a 180 so that I can sandwich it. Now the mob is facing the warrior and the pally is swinging away at its back.

It works rather well. And if the mob decides to reposition itself I just do a little circle strafe dance all the while spamming buttons and the pally will move and follow me and face the right direction.
