One of my friends (another IPP) finally folded and
got Windows NT/4 for frontpage purposes. And it
turned it frontpage is still just as flakey on NT
:-)

Regarding distrubted web servers:  Has anyone here
had expierence with round-robin DNS? Why not just
setup a Server with a Raid Array/NFS Server, then
have clients mount the drives and load balance
through round-robin DNS? I have another friend who
told me sometime ago about this, I will touch base
with them..
