      I just want to know, what exactly is the idle time a measurement of?
     
     
 Idle time is a measure of how many seconds it has been since the
metaserver has last received an update notification from the cf server.

 The server only sends an update once every 5 minutes, so anything less
than that on the idle time should be taken to mean the server is up.

 Anything more than 10-15 minutes means the server is probably down right
now, but if still being provided, this indicates it may be a temporary
problem.
