groups of uberlusers who possess diagnostic skills roughly on a par with a troop of mildly concussed tarsiers. ...
May I express my admiration, and ask for permission to use this neat turn of phrase? ;-) ;-) ;-)
In terms of bandwidth, the best method would probably be to use a PRNG with a reasonably long period. Set the seed during the initial setup of the constituent firewalls in the RAIFsets, and then exchange a new seed at some pre-defined interval (some wee bit less than your PRNG's period).
And have somebody sabotage one of the upstream time servers, or perhaps your tarsier-equivalents are maintaining it, and the two lose sync during that time period and can no longer communicate. (Happened here - tarsiers.) Just to be reasonably paranoid - a virtue in this field, eh? ;-) -- Joe Yao jsdy () cospo osis gov - Joseph S. D.
