I'd like to see him add another SATA drive to my nameservers sitting in New York or the vmhost in Nairobi. I'm in Johannesburg. Taking down that NewYork nameserver on a whim to add disks is not an option. It's an old machine, but a critical one and serves DNS to our entire European and US markets. Taking it down on a whim gets me fired. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
