[Spread-users] Spread contractors in SF Bay area?

[Yair Amir]

Hey, now the problem is clearer - Spread is an East-Coast beast.

More seriously, this sounds to me as a possible membership issue.
I'd love to get an output of spmonitor of such a situation on each
of the cluster machines before you bring down one of the daemons.

	Cheers,

	:) Yair.
