Thanks for the feedback. One concern here is that if we have to fail over then the primary has to be rebuilt, leaving us open with no contingency in the event of another failure and that the rebuild could take up to a week. I know we could have multiple standbys and other contingency plans, but... Are there any enhancements or functionality that make this a moot point today? -- ..
