Michael,

I know you are trying to address Dewayne's requirements, but please do
not suggest untested combinations of server services.  I say this
because users tend to try out these things without understanding them,
and only come back later to get us to come back and diagnose the
breakage. 

I will address Dewayne's specific requirements in another mail.
