I guess an interesting experiment would be to take it down for some amount of time (e.g. one month) and then bringing it up again and continue measuring. Off course, with hardware that old, it might just not get up again, once being taken down.
And even than, wouldn't it be an option to reassign the IP/host to metronoom or huygens? I can't trace them all the way but at least they seem to be in the same subnet. For backward compatibility's sake. ;) Regards, Roelant.
