Engineering "side quests" during the holidays sometimes end up looking like wasted time with the benefit of hindsight. But not always!

Networks go down. When they do, automated failover is table stakes for critical infrastructure. Let's take a look at how DoubleZero clients switch between the DZ network and the public internet.
