Anyone have any pointers or info on the subject of designing systems
to be fault tolerant?  I am especially interested in how one makes
tradeoffs between different fault tolerant techniques (e.g., should
I use distributed recovery blocks, or is 3 modular redundancy the
way to go).  Another interesting area is how one uses a database
in the presence of redundant computations.

Please email to me, and I will summarize if there is interest.  Thanks
a bunch....
