Public IP ZoneCD looks quite good.
Has anyone ever done this?
Yes. We use it at work. Generally not too bad, but I've found that it can be a little flakey at the best of times (although they've now added the option of rebooting the server at 4am which helps with the stability issues)
Hmm ok. A reboot seems like a bit of a crude way of solving the problem, but using a LiveCD for a full time server must have its problems I suppose.
and if the public authentication server gets knocked out (which has done at least once) then nobody can login and have to wait until it's fixed.
Am I right in thinking you can run your own authentication on your own server if you want to? From reading the web site I'm not exactly sure what services are providede by Public IP and which ones you run/can run yourself.
And do you use a USB stick for the config?
