No, no no nono....nononono...nono...

Great idea, but of course, it'd be better to have 4 boxes: three run
windows and apache serves pages from whichever happens to be working
at the moment. Chuck in a squid for an easy 66% drop on the downtime
figure.

Personally, I find that apache doesn't really crash much. *
