Are these work DMZ's or home ones?

Just curious...

[llearch]

Work.

Home doesn't have a pair of redundant dmz boxes. What would I do with them if I had them?

I mean, sure, I've got my firewall/server, my colo box, and the vm box in the other colo, but that's nothing redundant there... ;-]

Figures, but the lack of a discontinuity between the tale of the dud pilot light, mouse, et all, and that of the inverted DMZ's tended to imply that it might have been your home DMZ's that were in a sad juxtaposition.

Orifice DMZ's not rack mounted so the dead one can be attended to without disturbing the live one doesn't sound like good planning to me (although I can recognise that the nature of your employers would lead me to believe the scrounging sods wouldn't cough for adequate preparation for such eventualities.) but then, what would I know seeing as how I'm a dinosaur from the mists of antiquity...

p.s. I mentioned a problem in debian that no-one seems to have offered any help for. Might you have some suggestions, perhaps?

From memory, we didn't have the rails when we installed them three years ago, and since they've been so reliable, we've been dealing with other problems ever since...

Wheel isn't squeaky, it doesn't get greased, etc etc...

[ookey]

although obviously you caught the mouse... if you have trouble getting them to set off the trap, try peanut butter. Best thing we found (next best = chocolate, but that's a waste. Also Burger Rings, but that might be a tad hard..) when out in the mountains :)
