I'm a bit confused by this question. Wouldn't using a search engine like Google be the easiest way to find password files? I'll have to consider the ethical implications of that approach.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The architect should recommend host isolation response to exclude the no-mirror VMs, using isolation addresses in both sites, and leveraging the witness appliance to maintain availability.
