Nah, your assumption is incorrect. Netcraft reports "last reboot" and "uptime" using a mixture of TCP Timestamps and pings, which won't give you accurate results in this scenario. www.baa.com seems to be two hosts that are serving requests in a round-robin configuration. In that configuration you'd be able to patch and reboot one machine at a time without a loss of public service and with the "uptime" that is being reported by Netcraft unaffected. -- phil. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
