I think that this shows the value of the PG approach (What MH likes to call "Unlimited distribution"), where the whole collection is mirrored in many different locations. So if the main server is down, there are plenty of alternate sites availible.

I think Michael's approach to unlimited distribution is a little different, but not that different. What you're actually talking about is gbn's approach to belt+suspenders when it comes to server resiliency. Insert obligatory Linux Torvalds quote about mirroring, here. -- Greg

As you probably noted, the site was inaccessible for over a week; the reason is that our ISP shut down following "A crippling DDOS attack" which they were not able to successfully block. We changed ISPs, and the site is once again available. We will take the necessary means so that this type of thing cannot happen again; I will speak about it again very soon.
They are being rather optimistic but we will have to wait and see if their "mesures nécessaires" work.
