Hi everone, The server was back in service about 12 hours ago. I regret any inconveniences you experienced while I was away on fun. Demand is pushing the server's current v3.1 architecture, but work on version 4 has started! The chief stability problem areas are exposed by the growing numbers of courtesy email notices for expiring/expired exponents, and the user account reports - both of which are too important to curtail. Polling back-off strategy: George discussed this with me some time ago. I think he will soon finish adding this. You will not need to adjust each computer to go, for example, in steps from 2 minutes to an hour frequency, if a connection to the server is out. Regards, scott P.S. I trust the facts will bear out Aaron's side of the story, and illustrate a US West MIS process failure rather than an abuse of resources.
