I find it truly amazing that people don't already diversely monitor. Hell, have cronned pings running off your friend's cable modem if that's all you can afford, but for christ's sake, a single box colo'd in someone else's cage, or a shell at shells.com or nether.net really isn't that expensive.

Might be interesting to define a set of basic monitoring functions that independent ISPs can run on each other and share results. Early warnings could go to a special email. _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to abuse@groupstudy.com
