Thanks to all, this site is now doing what the client was requesting. I wound up moving 'main' down a few pixels so that when the vert scroll appears it's nearly in line with the nav separator on the left, then added overflow: auto to 'main' after adjusting it's overall size. All the help is very much appreciated!
