This paper describes strategy which allows resources to be shared in a resilient manner while minimizing user delay. The strategy described supports two-host resiliency. That is, at least two of the cooperating hosts must simultaneously malfunction while in the process of cooperation, and the malfunction must be of a very restricted form in order for undetectable or unrecoverable failure to occur. Extension to n-host resiliency is also discussed.
