With a place like server matrix (which has 6 major backbone connections)
you can likely set it up so that each box is on a different network
segment. If they are attached to different switches, on different vlans,
then that is 99% of the seperation you'd get having the two boxes in
seperate buildings. As for weo, you'll notice that a) I brought that up
as a potential confounding factor and b) on the irc channel martin and I
just went over load balancing/replication issues for Zope (should we
choose to go that route). Considering that we don't even have a proposal
for what a migrated weo CMS would run under, I don't think its
unreasonable to propose load balancing/failover as a spec for a new weo
setup. Do you?
So, yes, it has been thought out. Thanks :)
