Re: Dropping the AS/400 as a Web serving platform

> ANY system needs failover support!

Walden,

Your right.  I used a poor choice of words.

My point was simply this.  If you go to an e-commerce shop and find two (2)
IIS boxes next to each other, which are front-ended by a third box doing
load balancing with failover support (stops routing requests to the failed
box), it's probably because the IIS applications are down 10% of the time
during normal operation.  I just wanted to make a point about the iSeries
99% uptime.

Of course, every shop need some plan for a disaster.
