Hi Nick, At the moment we aren't going to develope a method to indicate the
users that a backends or a farms are down. As Marco wrote in other mail it
is work for your monitoring solution. But by other hand I think that your
proposal of indicate the backend status (how many are dead, how many are
OK or how many are in maintenance mode) in the global farm view is very
interesting, we are going to try to develope in new version
Regards!
