Re: 2 Colo's

I've been looking at implementing Akamai's GTM service that does some 
automatic load balancing
and failover if the datacenter is dead. I found that anything I was 
hosting was subject to single points
of failure. Akamai's service was so cheap, I couldn't beat it with a 
custom solution.
