[volunteergrid2-l] Hi

[Jody Harris]

Eric presents us with a "potential problem."

We already have two nodes in Roswell and one in Hagerman (20 miles south of
Roswell). Based on our redundancy stipulations, Eric's node could fall to
the same outages as Steve's two, and even overlap with mine.

 - It is possible for Steve and Eric's nodes to be on the same ISP, meaning
as ISP outage would take out three nodes at once.
   - Eric, what ISP are you using?
 - It is conceivable that a power outage in Roswell could take out all
three Roswell nodes -- though, I have seen that Roswell's power is very
dependable.
   - Power outages in Roswell are rare and typically very brief.
 - It is likely that a natural disaster (though in itself is unlikely)
would take out all four Pecos Valley nodes.
   - The most likely scenario would be flooding -- if it ever rains here
again. *In the event of a flood*, all four nodes could be destroyed.

I recommend bringing Eric into the grid, but these are the kinds of things
we need to be thinking about.
