What I personally find amusing is that the gateway box sitting three feet from me has at least four names and three IP addresses. There's the hostname and full workgroup name for the household LAN, which share an IP, the external domain that it provides all services for, which is dynamically relinked every time it gets a new external IP, and the freebie alias from the company which makes the gateway distro.
Amusingly, tracing that last one results in a loop which takes half a dozen hops across the country, jumps to the USA for another half-dozen nodes, and then finally resolves back to the pile of parts currently acting as a footrest for my scanner and router. Depending purely on what I call the box, I can ping under 10ms or over 300.

Maybe they're asking if there's enough system redundancy to run on a skeleton crew and still perform a normal workload for a certain period of time?
