Hmm, and how are they doing the checkout? I thought the private stuff is
with password and we cannot checkout stuff with a user on zones.

Agree but I am not sure how you thought about it.

Actually I submitted a patch to infrastructure to monitor lenya.zones
with http://monitoring.apache.org/status/

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-698

If we want, I can do the same for forrest, then we know when it is down
and can react.

Yeah on lenya we seem to have it because you cannot stop the httpd
without another one get up instantly. I will try to find the difference
between both configs.
