Just to follow up on this particular aspect, as some of you may already
be aware, I also work for Supernews as ${REALJOB} as the "tech czar" for
want of a better title.

We're currently engaged in a major project to completely move to FreeBSD
(mixture of 4.x and 5.x, eventually going to 5.x) for all our systems -
a reasonable percentage of this work has been carried out, and we're now
on to the hard part.

We have the hardware available for a pretty major testbed for a full
multipathing geom instance, and, within reason, are able to offer access
to these systems for those interested in making this happen.
