No, ... that wouldn't work....

I guess you get what you pay for... It is flashcom, after all...

It would, but there's a lot of reasons to put it on it's own
machine... people are going to need shell access to it who I don't want
to have shell access on my main server... 

The pipe is a 1.1mb sdsl... and we still have 7 months left on the
contract... but where else do you get that kind of speed both ways w/ a
static IP for $300 a month?

Sounds so far like it's time to get heavy handed with the saled guy to
get us an other IP or 8....

Thanks, though.  I do like the round robin idea... It would be cheaper
to grab a couple more cheapo systems from Electronic Planet than to do
serious upgrades...
