Well, I was kind'a hopin' maybe some
Pi.BerkeleyLUG folk(s) would leverage the
Pi.BerkeleyLUG.com DNS infrastructure ... and a Raspberry Pi ...
and Pi.BerkeleyLUG.com could be up and operational even when
BerkeleyLUG.com was off-line! :-)

And ... my infrastructure would've needed bit more than just
a Raspberry Pi and its power - would also need to power
equipment between that and the transport for the ISP.
So ... Pi.BerkeleyLUG.com at another location would still
be the more feasible.

Well, there's also the option of using an acceptable Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
together with the two NIC (aka "dual-homed") perfectly functional midtower PC that's still
available to giveaway for free; described at the BALUG wiki's 'Offered/Wanted: Hardware, etc.'

LMK if/when I can bring the functional midtower PC over to a mutually-convenient
location for Pi.BerkeleyLUG.com's ultimate usage at the above "another location".

A few references to types of UPS's
