I'd like to setup hot failover for that VM, so that if the server it is 
running on goes down, it will auto-come back up on a second server.  So 
far, the finest I can get the replication granularity is 15 minutes, so 
there is the potential of 15 minutes worth of 'data' to be lost on a crash 
...

As I believe that most (if not all?) of the stuff on that VM is pretty 
static as far as files, and there is no email over there, I can't think of 
any reason *not* to do this for that VM ... but, I wanted to check here to 
see if anyone knows of a reason that the potential lose of '15 minutes' 
worth of data is a bad thing?

If not, I'll get that setup ...

I don't believe that any of the other VMs can have this setup yet, until I 
can get the 'gap' reduced between replicas, since they are all dealing 
with CVS in some form or another, or email ...
