I'm happy in principle with the status quo. In practice however,
we just unbusted Oxford's configuration as RALPPD's backup the
other day. Prior to that it's never been right. The only reason
for that is that we'd never noticed that we were supposed to be
RALPPD's backup in the first place. If you can tell from testing
which sites have a problem with their backups, then presumably
ATLAS has known the entire time that it was broken, but have
neglected to mention it to us.
Rather than looking at the problems, giving up and trying
something else, could you not first ask people to fix what we
already have?
