... At the end of the the deal with had two mac mini's with auto fail over configured via health checking. Thank goodness we got rid of the service provider that refused to let us pair with the network. Once that happened the networking team could just do normal peering with a standard router.

But yea, in the early days that mac sat on my desk. It only got moved when I pointed out the issue to our new security team and their jaw hit the floor. =)
