I wouldn't go quite so far as to say that they have security implications,
but I definitely agree that these are solutions of last resort, and that
any live load-balanced solution is infinitely preferable to a stand-by
solution. Which, IMHO, is unlikely to ever work as hoped for. I was just
answering the question at hand, rather than the meta-question of whether
the question being asked was the right question. :-)
