A good idea would be to have two Mon installs trap to a central Mon
server that alerts if both report a failure:

A lot of people could pool resources into such a beast and come up with
a sort of consensus on whether or not there's trouble, and possibly
allow thresholds where if 30% of the monitors report failure an alert is
sent, etc.
Might be nice for us debian people to band together on this and have a
sort of community monitoring.
