He said he wanted 1 server in each data center, so that his website  
would be available even if 1 data center goes down.  That's HA not  
load balancing.  I disagree that it's not a challenge.  Remote data  
centers means the likelihood of split brain goes up quite a lot, as  
compared to a set of servers connected via crossover ethernet or via  
serial cable.
