Marius, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
I suppose for the time being i'll just expose Git/orious as a single machine/instance and use a load balancer to direct external Git/orious request to that single machine , while not affecting my currect WWW load-balanced Tier. Looking forward very much to the newly Distributed Architecture that will hopefully be out later this year.
