Typical! We should investigate the possibility of taking duplicate feeds for the Toronto Area for this type of problem.

Then what happens when it goes down? We actually do have considerable redundancy in the central part of the feed topology, including multiple feeds into the Toronto area, but inevitably this redundancy doesn't extend all the way to the leaves. It could be lots worse. There was a time when if utzoo was down, the entire Toronto-area Usenet was pretty much completely down. -- A bit of tolerance is worth a | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology megabyte of flaming. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
