sounds like a good idea to me. Personally, I'd question the need for involving a shady third-party testing organization. It seems to me that the hard part is going to be coming up with a good test (I would suggest a 'lab' much like cisco uses for the CCIE. "Here are a bunch of [virtual] servers; setup an apache cluster and a MySQL cluster. Use puppet to normalize the configs" something like that. you could even be more open ended.) I would think that LOPSA would have more interest in protecting the LOPSA 'brand' than some third party, and we'd probably have a difficult time getting them to maintain a proper lab. -- Luke S.
