I wasn't aware it was valuable to have a bare metal host for automatic testing, but that's not a problem. Could we potentially host VMs on that host, or does it need to be able to be stripped and replaced completely each time. For backup, I had been thinking of something like this: * Run Gluster at each site so the storage pool is only pulling from the LAN (or localhost.) * Use some type of Gluster mirroring so that each location contains a backup of the other location. Anyway, I haven't checked with Glustexperts yet on that scheme, but I think the basic idea is workable. In this scenario, one physical host would have 6 to 12 VMs. One VM could be dedicated to all sorts of cronjobs and batchwork - copying built RPMs from one location to another, backing up files and databases, etc. This host could be entirely on the private VLAN, connecting to external hosts with ssh (scp, rsync, tunneling, Ansible, Puppet, whatever) or a VPN. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41
