I was referring to the problem that will occur when monitoring becomes distributed from multiple vantage points worldwide. (I believe I read here before that was a goal for the monitoring system). I suppose if it were kept simple, there could still be a central server to collect all of the monitoring data from around the world and score servers, rather than having monitors in each region merge results from each other (Which would be more fault-tolerant). -- RPM _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
