I hadn't gotten the memo listing you as the "One True Source".
I will immediately stop doing what has worked for years and get additional
machines on order.
I'll add switching to get them all in communication, pay for the extra rack
space, and of course I'm now willing to spend extra time troubleshooting
since I'll have additional hardware and processes to consider if there is a
problem. I guess I will also add rules for SQL to the firewall since it will
have to use TCP/IP from machine to machine now.
Is this my lucky day or what?
