load balanced configuration

Absolutely.  In practice, this is not that big of an issue but I was more
commenting on this
As a potential situation.  I was serious about having someone standing over
the shoulder anxiously
Awaiting the service to come back up.  That scenario was my first thought
and it sucks when it happens
and the OP took my response as I had hoped.

³Hmmm, interesting thread, I will ask a few more questions and get a handle
on how this will really
Go down in the real world.²

Thanks for everyone¹s contributions to the thread.
