[KLUG Members] alternate redundancy v. cost

[Dirk H Bartley]

Unfortunately, my purposes are not suited for memcached.  I wish it
were, but I'm looking for the run of the mill samba, nfs, dns, low usage
postgres and or mysql type of stuff.  The redundancy I was looking for
was mostly for the filesharing.
