From my experience (YMMV), most RAID controllers will NOT redistribute the existing data/files onto the newly added drives. So, if you have a (3) drive RAID5 your file exists on all three drives, as does the parity data. If you add (2) drives, your original files will not be on the new

What about an entry in your local DNS (what your hosts use) that gives a bogus ip (127.0.0.1?) for *.badhost.com? Then users can never connect to badhost.com. I don't know too many FW's that allow you to use a URL in a rule. IIRC, CheckPoint-FW1 did/does, but they recommend against it due
