Discussion

1. Sentry has many options for tests, testing schedules, trouble notifications and reports. What should be used? See the Scheduling and Reporting sections on this page: http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/Bouncer/Running+Sentry+2
2. Sentry runs from one machine. What happens if that machine loses its connection to the network - suddenly all mirrors are marked bad because they're unreachable?
