[FX.php List] [OFF] Solution for occasional outage....Redux

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Thanks for the suggestions.

In this case, two machines (web and FM) are next to each other and 
they both go down.  There isn't any web server on to process the php 
script. ;-(

None of my clients have mission critical systems, so the occasional 
outages are bearable.

I'm using OS X server, so the Windows system wouldn't be of much help.

Thanks

Jonathan
