After reading the thread about mika's getting starved for blocks and Jay's idea about getting together and setting up a minimum number of blocks we should hold to cover outages, I ran a few numbers.

Mika handles between 500 and 540k blocks on a normal day. So I picked a number of 525k and divided it by 7, the current number of BB Proxies. That comes out to 75,000 blocks. So if Mika's were to be down for 24 hours, the BB's could cover it.

Therefore, I am suggesting that the BB's buffer a minimum of 75k to cover an outage such as what we just had. Any feed back is appreciated.
 
I was thinking of uping my count to 60-80k, but wanted to have teh meeting first. Perhaps we could setup a time for everyone to meet, or if that's impossible, lets just start with Mandrill's number. Also, we need to set a number for OGR too.

IMO, the buffers should be a wee bit larger.
We have seen a few outages of two and a half days.

I guess, the 75k should be upped to at least 100k to cover a 'normal' outage.
Also, the last few days our number of members is slowly but steadily increasing. This requires an increasing number of blocks in the buffers.

I will bump mine up to 75K or 100K in a few minutes. Mika let me know that he had bumped his to 100K.

Notice to all BB operators: Emergency email notifications will soon be enabled on the ppstatus server. It will default to 20K or so, and soon you will be able to change it (and other options). If you haven't already noticed, everyone of you has a t*a*.com hostname assigned to your pproxy. jator.teamanandtech.com, thecool1.teamanandtech.com, boberfett.teamanandtech.com, etc, all resolves to your IP. If your IP changes, your hostname and the round robin will reflect the new IP in under two hours. 🙂 Enjoy!

Guys, don't worry about setting it too far past 75K or so. As it stands now, there's usually allways someone around that can reboot the pproxy in less than 24hrs.
