I used to do a LOT of things simply "because I can"... I don't have time any
more :)

I still like your idea, though, of doing round-robin DNS or other forms of
distributed hosting for that purpose... there's the question, though: Should
our main site be done this way if it's not necessary, and risk making things
more complex and possibly more prone to breakage?

Or would it be something to set up for a dummy/test/for-fun site?
