Are you simply looking for server going down or service availability?
I.E. do want something at a lower, or higher level, than just a simple
ping/SNMP status check? Have a look, based on budget, at NetIQ
AppManager or MS MOM 2005. I have a preference for AM myself.

A more likely explanation (assuming 30Mb is small compared

Yes you are correct. The answer is No. A domain within a forest is the
authentication boundary. So when all DCs of domain other.biz are unavailable
the users from other.biz will not be able to log on as there is no DC
available to authenticate the user at logon and create the access token.

Hmm - I wouldn't 100% call the domain the authentication boundary.
Authentication in a W2k+ Network without any mods not to rely on the GC is
done - as you said - via DC of the same domain the account resides plus any
GC of the forest - not necessarily that a GC which resides in the same
domain

I think it is better to describe a domain as a policy and administration

in a forest, there is not much of a security boundary between domains.
And given the

Not sure that's going to fix the issue though, unless I'm missing something.
Wherever the information gets put, it should be a) done as the default yet
configurable b) centrally viewable (I should NOT have to visit each DC in my
