X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 I think June has it pretty correct, the only difference I see is the concept of a seperate backup node. I got the impression they wanted a multi-headed solution. It can be active/passive initially. It also has to have an integrated backup solution in it. I don't think we have to have a backup node per se. If we can pull it off, it would probably be a good feature. We just need to make sure we can do backups in the event we don't have a node to do them, i.e. one of the heads is gone/dead. ----- Original Message ----- From: "June Mullins" <junemullins, earthlink dot net> To: <antera, cryptofreak dot org> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 9:13 AM Subject: We need to meet - change in direction!! > Hi all, > Perry just called.
