Hi,
I don't want to drag this into a long thread, but note the original says
"the system should survive just about anything short of an act of God",
and suddenly you are talking about a reliable server and a few switches.

You do realise that is a real dumb statement, don't you? :-)
A cluster of 10 machines, each on a different site. Guarantees from the

LOL... Our telco services could be down for several hours at a time.
We found than most US Broadband carriers (DSL and Cable) offer a

Err, no. five 9s is *never* easy.
