tks for the direction. i uninstalled apache-asp. went into site\lib\ppm.xml
and adjusted the record so that uwinnipeg is the first repository.
installed with ppm. did a query to verify. went to the apache\asp.pm to
verify manually.
tried the system. and no failure messages after 30 screens.
so it seems the problem was a quirk in ppm 2.1.6 which unfixed something
that was fixed in apache-asp.
on the positive side of the problem, it did strongly encourage me to look
at handlers with modperl. which happened to provide an approach to taking
http trafffic at a central site and farming it in very specific ways to
other servers.
