Make sure you can ping them. Then setup a service to do that at a relative high rate. And make all other services dependent on that ping service. Then say you do not care about unreachable services. Just make sure that ping reaches a hard state before any service can reach a hard state. Hugo. - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?
