[dhi-servers] anomalous wily behavior

[Philip Crotwell]

Hi

We'll check into it. One thing to keep in mind is that the email  
generator and the web interface are separate processes, so the the  
fact they don't march in lock step is not necessarily surprising.  
However, web wily should be able to accurately determine if servers  
are up, and so if it is reporting incorrect results then something is  
wrong on our end.

thanks for letting us know.
Philip
