Great! Sorry for not digging in depth backwards in the mailing list. I'm part of quite a few so it's hard to have the time to suck all info in :) So basically the only case when a server is disconnected is when I take it down for maintenance and when it comes up it will self-heal right? And by adding a brand new server it will as well be synched I hope. Kindly //Marcus On Fri, May 9, 2008 at 1:24 PM, <gordan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, 9 May 2008, Marcus Herou wrote: > > OK cool.
