Never mind, that was sort of a premature question. Obviously the reason
you suggested a third data center was to allow automatic failover in
case the primary data center went offline. But if that happens and I
don't mind having to intervene and manually promote the secondary server
to primary, then I don't see the need for the third data center. Am I
missing something?
