[smokeping-users] Question about master/slave and master outage

[Peter Kristolaitis]

http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/doc/smokeping_master_slave.en.html

"The slave tries to contact the master server after every round of
probing, supplying its results. If the master server can not be reached,
the results will be sent to the server together with the next round of
results. Results will be stored in a perl storable so that they survive
a restart of the smokeping instance."
