One goal of the Ames Community Network is to help people interested in exchanging services to get in contact with each other and to make arrangements to provide each other mutual assistance.
A useful aspect of several Internet technologies is that they are built to be fault-tolerant, to fail gracefully, to accomdate attempts to design away from single points of failure.
Two examples of this are the Doman Name System (DNS), which is used to resolve domain names like web.amescommunity.net into more machine-friendly Internet Protocol numbers like 209.234.76.68, and Internet mail also known as email.
Each of these relies on a system whereby a primary server is looked to first. If it is down, the service request is directed to one or more secondary servers that can resolve a DNS name or which can accept email for the site in question.
Large organizations with multiple physical locations might be able to provide secondary service within the organization. Even then, one finds organizations as large as Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, or the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin, providing secondary DNS for each other.
