I think many sites consider downtime to just be part of life for server moves, upgrades, etc. Even "name brand" sites like ebay and Amazon have maintenance windows regularly where the site is pretty much offline an unavailable. For email, just set a lower priority MX record for your domain to point to another box (a good idea anyway). Your mail will queue up on the other server while your primary is down for maintenance. For web stuff, a simple page on a temp box with a "Maintenance Window..." type message, or some simple static content should suffice. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
