The CI system used by the LSB, and in part hosted at the LF in
OR, Columbus OH (PMMan), and the Marist (s390x) on the East
coats, had sufficient problems pulling content, that we set up
a formal 'fail-over' look-aside archives, so that we did not
get false failures due to problem with content retrieval
Particularly an AMZN Rt 53 problem was the driver to us taking
the time to do the engineering, but erratic connectivity is
part of life when pulling content from third-party sites, and
needs to be 'engineered to'
