You're missing the point.

In theory, everything of course looks beautiful, or can be set up 100% 
reliable.

We use nagios here, what good is it, if you can't connect to the remote 
office, because for some reason, DSL line is down because the ISP in 
that city sucks?

Yes, we too have a dial-in connection as a backup in most locations, but 
the point is, the server *has to* operate correctly once it's powered 
on, (almost) no matter why it crashed.
