It seems from what else he said that his is a pretty important job 
(primary DNS for various domains). For such a task, I think the choice 
of FC unwise, it's the sort of thing you want to have running hour after 
hour, day after day, week after week, month after month....

Reports and experience here suggest FC is not the best choice for such 
important work.
