     Services doesn't have the ability to do this built in; you'd have to
manually start up a copy of Services on another server.  You could
partially automate the process by, say, having a bot that periodically
checks whether Services is still linked to the network, and if it
disappears,  starts up another copy of Services on its own machine.
