I do plan on moving to this service very shortly (within a week or two, hopefully). It'll help me in a number of ways, including being able to implement a few ideas I have for serving content onto third-part sites via PHP includes and iframes. I'd shied away from that in the past because of uptime concerns.

One more question, though:

Is the mirroring truly two-way? In other words, let's say the main server hiccups and the failover kicks in. Let's further say that the failover server runs the show for a few hours -- maybe even a day or two.

During that time, orders are placed, mail is sent and received, databases are updated, possibly new pages are uploaded by clients who don't know they're on failover, and so forth. In other words, stuff changes.

So... When the primary server comes back online, will all of the changes that took place while the failover server was running the show be mirrored back onto the primary server?

Thanks,

Richard
