The pool set up 4 groups (0, 1, 2, 3) for us, but since we only had three in the original file (and three is a commonly recommended number of servers), I thought I'd only three of the four. I did think that we might rotate which subset of the 4 we use over time. I've no problem commenting in all 4 if people think that's a better config. David.
