Yes of course, but you know, that's a dream sometimes. Last week we moved the DB from a RAID6 to RAID10 after a hardware upgrade, this caused a (short) downtime. Yes we want to have a replicated DB on another server, but that doesn't exist ATM. And even if: the option to have a maintenance mode to fool clients is good to have, for example for kernel or shared lib updates that require a reboot. Or, as we are virtualized, a reboot to use more RAM at the client machine. It just comes to my mind, that SMTP AUTH requests should not receive an OK, but rather a 4xx message, so no e-mail can be sent during that time. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0676/846 914 666 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
