No more than 10 minutes of bids can be lost under these circumstances. One is on the East coast, one on the West. The West coast server isn't in California, so you don't need to worry about rolling blackouts affecting the West coast server. They use different Internet backbones and are run by different companies, so unless both companies go bankrupt or suffer outages simultaneously your bids will be safe. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.
